Bacterial pathogen survival in karstic groundwater (SENSAAS Project)

The post-doctoral offer concerns the fisrt part of the project and will focus on the link between the quantification of antibiotic resistant bacteria (BRA) and the dosage of most consumed antibiotics (ATB) in karstic groundwater. More particularly, he/she will determine whether different clones of multi-drug resistant pathogens (E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa) have similar survival characteristics in a  network of karstic groundwater and which factors (antibiotics, abiotic factors, metal trace elements) influence this survival.

Experimental applications will be held on Jurassic Karst and AUVERWATCH observation systems (Research Infrastructure OZCAR, RZA, eLTER).
