One Health AMR: past, present and future
Darren J. Trott A and Andrea McWhorter BA
B
Prof. Darren Trott is a veterinarian and microbiologist with research interests including zoonotic, companion and production animal bacterial diseases, focusing on molecular epidemiology, microbial pathogenesis, microbial ecology, antibiotic resistance and development and repurposing of new antimicrobials. He is the inaugural Director of the Australian Centre of Antimicrobial Resistance Ecology. He teaches veterinary microbiology, antimicrobial chemotherapy and antimicrobial stewardship to veterinary science students and co-ordinates the DVM-1 Clinical Research Project. |
Andrea McWhorter is a microbiologist specialising in poultry health and zoonotic foodborne pathogens. Her research also extends to understanding the transmission of foodborne pathogens from farms to the food supply chain, leading to human disease. Andrea collaborates closely with the egg and chicken meat industries to address the challenges of improving bird health and mitigating zoonotic bacteria in food. |
