- If effective measures are not taken, the number of deaths from antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacterial infections is expected to exceed 10 million by 2050.
We are using molecular biology techniques to investigate the prevalence of AMR bacteria in humans, livestock, and the environment (river water, etc.) in Indonesia.
