Dr. Anderson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental and Global Health at the University of Florida. He is also a member of the Emerging Pathogens Institute.

Caroline Duchaine is interviewed on Radio-Canada's Années lumière program.

Émie Lachance takes a big step.

A milestone for Samantha Leclerc

The presentation will outline the imperative need for a comprehensive national surveillance strategy to monitor antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bioaerosols.

QMRA and Its Applications to Bioaerosol Research Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) is a research framework for relating environmental microbiological data to the probability of a health endpoint, such as infection.

This award is presented by the Canadian Society of Microbiologists for lifetime achievement.

The use of antibiotics plays a central role in controlling infectious bacterial diseases. Intensive livestock farming conditions render animals particularly susceptible to such diseases, underscoring the significance of antibiotic use in this sector.

Dr. Sandra Isabel is a clinical researcher and pediatric microbiologist-infectiologist at CHU de Québec-Université Laval.

The contribution of agriculture in antimicrobial use (AMU) and resistance (AMR) is recognized globally.
