16th JPIAMR transnational call for research projects - AMR diagnostics and surveillance 2023 (DISTOMOS)

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: IHU Méditerranee Infection
• Country: France (FR)
• Career stage: Early Career Researcher (up to 8 years** since PhD).

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 2: to develop or improve existing strategies, technologies or methods, or data use strategies to support One Health AMR surveillance
• One Health Setting:

  Human Health

  Animal Health (incl. wild-life, livestock, acquatic organisms, and companion animals)
  Environment (incl. natural and built)

• Keywords:

  gram negative bacteria antibiotic resistance genomic tools diagnostic tools artificial intelligence Klebsiella Enterobacter Enterobacteria

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  I am a clinical microbiologist. I work on antimicrobial resistance on Gram negative bacteria. I initially worked on colistin resistance, but I also work on beta-lactams resistance. I am interested in one health surveillance, especially I am interested in environmental factors that can mediate antibiotic resistance. I also am interested in developing new tools for antibiotic resistance diagnostics. I am working on the use of Oxford nanopore technology to detect antibiotic resistance but I also participate to the development of a tool for the automated interpretation of antibiograms called Antilogic.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  As I mentioned it before, I mostly work on gram negative bacteria, mostly klebsiella et Enterobacter. I am interested in taking part of a project that work on antibiotic resistance in environment which is for me un unexplored area. I am trying to understand why some clones of klebsiella are most resistant or virulent than other, if some genetic markers can be identify between multidrug resistant Klebsiella from animals, environment and/or humans and pathogenic/commensal ones
