Pr. Alan McNALLY, (University of Birmingham), “ The evolution of MDR clones: why are some lineages just better ”
Abstract: Multi drug resistance in E. coli is not uniformly present, but rather a few clones dominate the MDR landscape. This is driven by acquisition of mobile genetic elements, but the key question is why don’t all E. coli acquire and maintain these plasmids? In this talk I will present over a decade of work aiming to address this question, using population genomics, experimental evolution and in vitro and in vivo experiments to try and untangle why some clones are better than others
