Main theme 2 : Antibiotic resistance 

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major health challenges of the 21st century. It is the result of a complex global phenomenon involving the transfer of bacteria and genes between people, animals and the environment. Although certain ecological barriers limit these movements, pathogens nevertheless manage to regularly acquire new species. new resistance genes.This is often the case in areas of high human pressure. In the Camargue, an area that is both rich in biodiversity and intensively used (livestock farming, agriculture, tourism), recent studies have shown that the frequency of resistant bacteria is positively correlated with the degree of anthropisation habitats, including wild species. Understanding these dynamics requires an integrative approach, combining ecology, microbiology, evolution and social sciences. This involves in particular quantify transmission routesidentify engines and brakes the dissemination of resistance, and to question the the respective roles of environments, hosts and human practices in this development. The Camargue, as a the final receptacle for many contaminants. So it is a key area for studying the links between environmental pollution and bacterial resistancein a context that is still largely undocumented. This area also aims to raise awareness among professionals and residentsby encouraging the joint construction of knowledge to better anticipate health risks through One Healthand Full Health approaches.
