Imperial researchers are working to understand how resistance spreads between patients.
Researchers in this field include:
- Professor Mauricio Barahona: Predicting hospital-onset infections using dynamic networks of patient contacts and machine learning
- Dr Gabriel Birgand: Tracking AMR in nursing homes
- Professor Francis Drobniewski: Tracking resistance in the hospital environment
- Dr Elita Jauneikaite: Tracking spread of drug-resistant bacteria, mobile genetic elements between people in hospitals, mother-to-baby transmission
- Professor James Seddon: Transmission of MDR-TB in Namibia using WGS and social network mapping
- Dr Anand Shah: Hospital-based transmission of antifungal resistant fungi
- Dr Matthew Siggins: Factors influencing transmission of infectious disease
- Professor Robert Wilkinson: TB transmission
- Dr Nina Zhu: Underlying risk factors of infections from all settings in the community
