Information on the utilization of the genetic resource(s)
Looking at how human behaviour and antibacterial usage in urban and rural East Africa lead to AMR amongst E. coli and K. pneumoniae in humans, animals and the environment and the impact of drug-resistant bloodstream infection (DR-BSI) in humans. Activities will focus on ESBL E. coli (ESBL-E) and K. pneumoniae (ESBL-K) BSI for multiple compelling reasons. These organisms share AMR phenotypes and genes and belong to the same family of bacteria. Materials will undergo whole genome/next generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis at Wellcome Sanger Institute.
