The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System:  Measuring and Monitoring Resistance Using Genomics

Patrick McDermott, M.S., Ph.D., is Director of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) at the Food & Drug Administration. His collaborative work aims to understand the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in foodborne microorganisms, how they emerge and spread, and the impact of interventions designed to limit resistance in food animal production.
