Source: Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC). Published: 6/12/2019. This 55-minute webinar addresses the threat posed by rising levels of antibiotic resistance around the globe, and explores means of predicting pathogenic resistance in order to limit or preempt its effects. It examines an approach that combines biophysics, genomics, and experimental evolution to identify and characterize successful evolutionary trajectories, and then link those intermediates to the overall evolutionary trajectory of bacterial populations.
