Preventing Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance Through Surface Chemistry and Environmental Design

Join a 37-minute Royal Society of Chemistry discussion exploring infection prevention strategies and antimicrobial resistance with Professor Morgan Alexander from the University of Nottingham and Dr. Lena Ciric from University College London. Discover the mechanisms of disease transmission through buildings and surfaces, while learning about innovative scientific approaches to combat microbial spread. Delve into topics including surface chemistry, environmental microbiology, microscale surfaces, silver resistance, and transmission pathways. Gain insights into how different design requirements and antimicrobial materials can help control infection rates and prevent the need for excessive antibiotic use. Hosted by Dr. Alex Lathbridge, this engaging conversation examines the complex relationship between infrastructure design and public health, offering valuable perspectives on managing the microbial world around us.
