Summary
Climate warming is linked to rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), but the biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. This project asks how temperature shapes selection for resistance across different antibiotics, strains, and species of Klebsiella, a clinically important pathogen. Combining eco-evolutionary theory, lab experiments, and genomic sequencing, you will help build and validate a model predicting how antibiotic selection shifts with temperature — advancing our ability to control AMR in a warmer world.
