The Food Safety and Antimicrobial Resistance program includes faculty conducting basic and applied research on foodborne pathogens, such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter, covering epidemiology, transmission, and ecology; fundamental biology and colonization mechanisms; and development of intervention strategies. The CVM leads a university-wide initiative on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which covers mechanisms of AMR; persistence, transmission and evolution of AMR; systems approach to understanding AMR; and development of innovative interventions for AMR. Additionally, the CVM has a major effort on the microbiome and understanding its role in health and disease.
