| DNA Sequencing Technology in Understanding Antibiotic Resistance |
|
The development of superbugs becomes an issue due to its threats to human health. This is due to the increased antibiotic resistance of certain infectious organisms such as bacteria affecting the safety of animal and the quality of its products. With this, Colorado State University researchers, Dr. Paul Morey and Dr. Keith Belk are leading the study of the process and mechanism involved in the development of superbugs in beef and dairy cattle industry. |

With this, Colorado State University researchers, Dr. Paul Morey and Dr. Keith Belk are leading the study of the process and mechanism involved in the development of superbugs in beef and dairy cattle industry. This will be conducted using DNA sequencing technology.
The use of this technology will help in understanding how antibiotic resistance is developed and transferred from livestock to humans. Comparisons between the traditional and organic process under different environments will be done to further identify the resistant genes and mechanisms associated with it. The production systems involved in the livestock industry will also be examined to assess whether it can trigger antibiotic resistance.
