About AROM

Microbiology | Phage and plasmid biology | Microbiome | Host–microbe interactions | Pathogen evolution | Genomic epidemiology | Antimicrobial resistance

We incorporate classical microbiology (aerobic, microaerophilic, anaerobic), molecular biology, systems biology and bioinformatics. Members of the group work on mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, factors influencing development of antimicrobial resistance, development of novel antimicrobials, population genomics and epidemiology, diversity of the human gut microbiota, host–microbiome interactions, predator–prey interactions, evolution of virulence, and plasmid biology and evolution. Our recent publications highlight some of the areas in which we work.

We belong to the Centre for Health, Ageing and Understanding Disease (CHAUD) at Nottingham Trent University.
