Linking Social, Spatial, and Molecular Epidemiology Tools: Antimicrobial Resistant Infections As A Paradigm

Eva Raphael, MD, University of California, San Francisco

Drug resistant infections are increasing.  Most research has focused on risk factors related to initial selection for resistance.  During this talk, I will present how social, spatial, and molecular epidemiology approaches can help identify risk factors for transmission of drug resistant pathogens.
