Modelling the transmission of antimicrobial resistance in livestock
The projects will be looking at the movement of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) within and between livestock production systems (dairy, swine, and poultry) within a FoodNet sentinel site and when possible, it would be compared with ARG in the human population.
