ABRomics

Résistance aux antimicrobiens
Period: 2022 - 2026
Funding: PPR Antibiorésistance
IFB role: Coordinateur

Antibiotic resistance, i.e. the ability of bacteria to resist antibiotic treatments, is a major global health problem. Faced with this challenge, the ABRomics project, co-led by the IFB and the Institut Pasteur, and supported by the PPR Antibiotic Resistance, is dedicated to the development of an online community platform to strengthen surveillance and research on antibiotic resistance, as part of a One Health approach.
