Show Notes
AMR - anti-microbial resistance - is the name for the growing number of infections that are becoming difficult or impossible to treat with antibiotics. It affects livestock, wildlife, and humans alike.
It's a global concern - considered by the World Health Organization and others to be among the world's top public health threats.
In this episode, Anna speaks with:
Dr Nuno Silva - who leads the AMR research group at the Moredun Research Institute
Dr Eleanor Watson - also at the Moredun, studying transmission of AMR within wildlife populations
Professor Karen Scott - a microbiologist at the University of Aberdeen's Rowett Institute, studying carriage of AMR in gut microbiota.
