About AMR

The ‘Bacteriology and Antimicrobial Resistance – Integrated One Health’ Research Group was established in response to the global health crisis posed by Antimicrobial Resistance. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has become one of the greatest threats to global health, food security, and development. The One Health approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health, is crucial for the comprehensive mitigation and management of AMR. This research group aims to contribute to the understanding, prevention, and control of AMR through innovative research, capacity building, and policy advocacy, in alignment with Universitas Indonesia’s vision as a center of excellence in research.

Research Areas

Current Projects

  • Genomic Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance in IndonesiaBrief description: Investigation of AMR transmission pathways between livestock, environment, and human populations, focusing on pathogens such as E. coli and Salmonella spp.
  • Bacteriophage Characterization for Therapeutic ApplicationsBrief description: Morphological and genomic analysis of local bacteriophages (e.g., Drulisvirus) targeting high-priority pathogens like Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • One Health Analysis of Zoonotic Bacterial TransmissionBrief description: Investigation of AMR transmission pathways between livestock, environment, and human populations, focusing on pathogens such as E. coli and Salmonella spp.
