The project focuses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Gram-negative bacteria. The successful candidate will work on microbiological and molecular biology experiments, including bacterial cultivation and characterisation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, virulence-related assays, and analysis of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
