Research and Innovation for the sustainable use of water
This research line analyses the ecology of the aquatic resistome in natural and urban waters, studying the presence and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the factors that influence it. Using techniques such as genomics, metagenomics, and wastewater-based epidemiology, it explores the role of water as a reservoir of resistance genes. The aim is to understand the impact of ecological and anthropogenic stressors on antibiotic resistance and to contribute to its control following the One Health approach.
