The project will explore how metagenomic sequencing of composite samples from patients and healthcare environments can be used to improve surveillance of pathogen and #AMR transmission.
Day 2 of #GAMRIC2026 starts off with discussions on addressing the gaps and unmet needs in #AMR particularly how to accelerate impact in paediatric AMR and in LMICs.

💊#AMR is a growing threat, exacerbated by armed conflicts that spread superbugs from soldiers to civilians;
🔬Phage therapy could help.

Interested in #AMR, #pollution & #regulation? Join the next UPCité #OneHealth social sciences seminar.
On 01.12. (12:30 CET), Lise Bjerke will speak on: "Molecular uncertainties: Responding to environmental AMR and pharma-industrial pollution in India"
🧬 Why is this a major step?
By reinforcing the host’s innate immune system rather than directly targeting bacteria, we aim to tackle antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) without contributing to drug resistance.

Microbes are not always lone wanderers but they build biofilms, tiny “bacterial cities” that stick to surfaces and shield their residents from threats. These communities can make infections much harder to treat and are found almost everywhere in nature. #AMR

🧪 Led by #LEITAT, with the key collaboration of #UniversityofIceland and WP2 partners, the team assessed key ADME-related properties, Caco-2 permeability and potential mechanisms of action.
🚀 Another step towards preclinical validation and innovative approaches to tackle #AMR.
Lightning talks at #GAMRIC2026 showcase some of the most innovative discoveries around #AMR which were submitted as abstracts. These presenters get the chance to present their work on the main stage before the poster session later today.
