Last month, @hollytipper.bsky.social & @istanton.bsky.social attended the Microbiome Innovation and One Health Conference in Oxford 🦠🧫

They co-presented on their work on #AMR in environmental microbiomes, as well as attending the networking event at @morethanadodo.bsky.social 🦖

3/ in addition to understanding more about how we could undertake an environmental AMR surveillance we also looked at what concentrations of antimicrobials the development of resistance can drive. See here 👉 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Determining selective concentrations for antibiotics and antifungals in natural environments

This project determined the concentrations of specified antimicrobials at which selection for resistance may occur.
