Antimicrobial Chemicals, AMR, and the Indoor Microbiome

This talk will explore the impact of antimicrobial chemicals on the indoor microbiome and how their widespread use is contributing to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Dr. Erica Hartmann will delve into how interactions between man-made chemicals and microbes in indoor environments can affect human health, as well as the development of new bio-inspired antimicrobial strategies to combat resistance. This presentation highlights the complex relationship between our built environments, microbial communities, and the growing global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
