What this research studies
This research focuses on tracking antimicrobial resistance in animals to ensure the safety of both humans and animals. By utilizing advanced bacterial whole genome sequencing, the project aims to provide real-time monitoring of bacterial isolates that could affect food safety. The research is conducted in veterinary institutions and aims to enhance the capacity for effective surveillance of food-borne pathogens, thereby filling critical gaps in monitoring antimicrobial resistance. The Goodman laboratory at Cornell plays a key role in providing analytical support and quality assurance for these procedures.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation or benefit from this research include veterinarians, animal health professionals, and stakeholders in the food supply chain.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in animal health or food production may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved food safety and public health by effectively monitoring and controlling antimicrobial resistance in animals.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in using genomic surveillance to monitor antimicrobial resistance, indicating that this approach is both tested and effective.
