BIOCIDE

The research project "Antibacterial biocides in the water cycle – an integrated approach to assess and manage risks for antibiotic resistance development" (BIOCIDE) is funded within the call on Aquatic pollutants by JPI-AMR, JPI-OCEA NS and JPI-WATER with ca 1.7 Million Euro between 2021 and 2024. The aim is to determine how and to what extent antibacterial biocides contribute to the development and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in different freshwater/marine ecosystems, and to inform and enable measures that ultimately protect human health and provide safe water resources for all.
