Microbial genomics underpins much of the research performed in the IMI, underpinned by the BBSRC funded MicrobesNG facility. Fundamental microbial genomics research is also performed to elucidate evolutionary genomics of pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens, and explores the use of cutting-edge genomics and metagenomics approaches to the diagnosis, treatment and surveillance of infectious disease.
