Antimicrobial Resistance Cartography: A Generalisable Framework for Studying Multivariate Drug Resistance biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_genomic

Introducing AMR cartography - brilliant work by Andrew Balmer

New preprint: Antimicrobial Resistance Cartography — a simple way to map multivariate drug-resistance phenotypes, using data from CDC. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

AMR Cartography lets us visualise how different pneumococcal lineages have distinct multivariate resistance phenotypes. GlobalPneumoSeq

Just posted our new preprint: Antimicrobial Resistance Cartography – A generalisable framework for studying multivariate drug resistance Cambridge Infectious Diseases IRC Cambridge DDU biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’ve just posted AMR Cartography on bioRxiv: a way to study multivariate drug resistance and connect it to genotypes. Would love feedback from people working with surveillance MIC data! AntibioticResistance CRyPTIC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

[New pre-print🚨] When a single genotype (pbp) confer resistance to multiple antibiotics (penicillin and cephalosporins), how do we make sense of genetic changes and their impact on AMR? A new concept - AMR cartography is invented by Andrew Balmer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
