The group investigates how low or fluctuating efficacy of biocidal materials can drive resistance, cross-resistance to antibiotics, and bacterial persistence.<br>Within Fast-Real, BAM leads activities on the development and optimization of test methods to assess antimicrobial resistance development. This includes method standardization, validation through inter-laboratory ring tests, and the development of experimental models for resistance evolution under antimicrobial stress. A particular focus lies on testing how bacterial metabolic states and growth conditions influence susceptibility to antimicrobial surfaces and coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Group leader contact: frank.schreiber@bam.de<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-1024x230.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-1024x230.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-768x172.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-1536x345.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-2048x460.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/All_Logos-1920x431.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tymri.ut.ee\/en\/content\/microbe-material-interactions-research-group#47b3d34f-9529-4b9c-9db9-b764250585a1\"><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:55%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:1rem\"><strong>Members<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns mb-0 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Schreiber_2-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Schreiber_2-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Schreiber_2.jpg 304w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Frank Schreiber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Paul_3-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Paul_3-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Paul_3-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Paul_3-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Paul_3-1920x3072.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/793\/Paul_3-scaled.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Paul-Alejandro Gomez-Coronado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAM \u2013Resistance to Antimicrobial Surfaces The research group of Dr. Frank Schreiber at the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) has long-standing expertise in studying the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in response to exposure to biocides and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":280,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-429","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/280"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":691,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/429\/revisions\/691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/fast-real\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
