OBJECTIVES

1. Develop dynamic, updatable mathematical prediction models of multidrug-resistant pathogen spread from first detection to established endemicity.
2. Determine the clinical impact of emerging MDR pathogens and AMR and to generalize the impact across various settings.
3. Expand the agent-based predictive mathematical model developed in Aim 1 to predict the impact of propagation of MDROs in order to estimate the need for new antibiotics.
4. Engage with stakeholders to communicate the models’ results.

KEY MESSAGES

1. This project aims to generate models that may predict the emergence and spread of resistance.
2. Models that project the spread and impact of resistance could help policy makers and antibiotic developers better allocate resources and direct efforts.
3. To create updatable models to predict antibiotic resistance and its impact, which will provide policy makers with the data required for decision making.
