Plasmids are some of the most powerful drivers of AMR, and understanding how they evolve is key to staying ahead.
Thrilled to co-chair this session with @aphendrickx.bsky.social as we welcome Dr. Daria Frolova for a deep dive into plasmid evolution and structural variation.
🧬 How do we evaluate structural variations in plasmids?

Find out in the final ESGMAP webinar in 2025.

💥Dr. Daria Frolova presents "Studying plasmid relatedness and evolution through structural variation"
📅15 December, 12:00 CET
🔗Registration required (link in comments)

“Tens of thousands of soldiers and nearly 14,000 civilians in Ukraine have succumbed to often grisly injuries from shelling, drone explosions & missile attacks.

The pernicious infections infiltrating Ukraine’s front lines
Doctors and scientists are waging a shadow war in the besieged nation: bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. The deadly bugs are now knocking on western Europe’s door.
