Thomas E. Wittum studies antimicrobial resistance (the ability of bacteria to survive drugs meant to kill them) across farm animals, humans, and the environment, including how antibiotic use in livestock can promote resistant bacteria. His work spans large-scale wastewater and sewage genomic surveys of resistance genes worldwide as well as more applied studies of cattle, food safety, and animal health practices.
