DESCRIPTION:Claudia Igler\, University of Manchester\, Faculty of Biology\
 , Medicine and Health\, Division of Evolution & Genomic Sciences\nThe evol
 ution of antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat to human lives that 
 is becoming progressively harder to manage. This is because there are many
  different mechanisms that allow bacteria to develop resistance to antimic
 robial treatments. In this talk\, I will explore the complex dynamics of g
 enetic\, phenotypic and mobile resistance mechanisms in microbial populati
 ons. I will show under which conditions we would expect genetic or phenoty
 pic antimicrobial resistance to determine pathogen success and how this le
 ads to different mutational pathways during chronic and acute infections. 
 Further\, I will discuss the genetic and environmental conditions that det
 ermine the spread of mobile resistance elements in heterogeneous bacterial
  populations. Overall\, I aim to demonstrate the complexity of microbial r
 esistance dynamics but that there is hope to understand them by studying t
 heir mechanistic interactions.
