The 17th ABRCMS meeting took place in Phoenix, Arizona during November 1-4, 2017. This year students presented results of their summer projects on structure and evolution of multi-drug resistant plasmids. Emily Bryant and Ambrocio Sanchez received awards for their poster presentations in Physiology and Computational Biology, respectively. Titles of all presentations are listed below.
- O. S. Adegbite†, A. Tatarenkov, L. Mota-Bravo (2017) Mosaic multidrug resistant region on plasmid from environmental Escherichia coli. Poster. Presented at 2017 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS), Phoenix, Arizona.
- E. E. Bryant†, A. Tatarenkov, L. Mota-Bravo (2017) Environmental Escherichia coli carries extended spectrum beta-lactamase antibiotic resistance genes. Poster. Presented at 2017 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS), Phoenix, Arizona. *Award in Physiology.
- A. Sanchez†, A. Tatarenkov, L. Mota-Bravo (2017) Discovery and evolutionary trajectory of a multidrug resistant, blaCTX-M-14 harboring plasmid in Escherichia coli from environment. Poster. Presented at 2017 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS), Phoenix, Arizona. *Award in Computational and Systems Biology.
