About
The main objective of the SARAH project is to study the determinants of antibiotic resistant bacteria dissemination at the animal-human interface. We develop a methodological research based on mathematical modelling and the analysis of epidemiologic, microbiologic and demographic data to:
- Better understand the role played by the different subpopulations in the temporal spread of the bacteria;
- Quantify the risks of diffusion of resistant bacteria from one population to the other;
- Assess the impact of different control strategies on such diffusion.
Our focus is at the moment on two multi-resistant bacteria in two distinct contexts: methicillin resistant staphylococcus (MRSA) and BLSE producing Enterobacteriaceae, in France and South East Asia.
