Summary
Recent studies have shown that levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increase at higher environmental temperatures, but we have limited understanding of the mechanisms causing this pattern. To improve our ability to control AMR, we need to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms through which temperature alters the selection and spread of AMR. This project will combine lab-based experiments, theory, and genome sequencing to achieve this.
