• Uppsala Antibiotic Center

His work spans antibiotic resistance, molecular evolution, and bacterial genetics, with a strong emphasis on plasmid stability, mobility, and fitness costs. Recent publications highlight his contributions to CRISPR-based resistance prevention, optical DNA mapping, and nano-biosensor development for rapid resistance gene detection.

Key article trends include:

• Antibiotic resistance gene transfer
• Plasmid-mediated resistance mechanisms
• Novel diagnostic technologies
• Biofilm evolution and virulence adaptation
• Environmental reservoirs of resistance
• Antibiotic combination efficacy

He actively collaborates on antibiotic resistance research and has contributed to policy discussions through publications in Science of the Total Environment and Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences. No formal students are listed in the provided materials.
