Week 3

This week, I updated Dr. Nutter on my progress during our meeting. We are all very excited to get this project started! The seal pups are rolling in as well, and the season is officially underway. With the swabs in full supply, I have been taking samples almost every day. We have started on the DNA extraction process for the 2019 and 2022 samples as well. Stay tuned for more from the lab and the hospital.

About This Project

The ability of infection-causing bacteria to develop resistance to the antibiotics used to treat them (called Anti-Microbial Resistance or AMR) is a worldwide threat to human and animal health. Harbor seals are sentinels of ocean health, and we will study AMR in very young harbor seals in a wildlife hospital. Using genetic sequencing, we will identify genes that code for resistance, and evaluate how the resistance genes in individual seals change during their treatment.
