Research Interests

Mohamed Ahmed was a PhD student at Liverpool University, graduating in 2006 and his studies involved the investigation of antimicrobial resistance in enteric bacterial organisms from equines. This work has generated a novel epidemiological data in relation to the zoonotic risks of horses and their role as potential reservoir for antimicrobial resistance in North-West England, UK (Ahmed MO 2010; Annal Clin Micro & Antimicro).

The research experience involved a great deal of diagnostic microbiology and genetic characterization (PCR, PFGE, MLST, automated microbiological identification systems and WGS), combined with epidemiological and risk factors analysis. The range of techniques meant that Mohamed had to work closely with people from a range of disciplines – human and veterinary microbiology, epidemiology and veterinary clinicians. His recent and current research interests have covered wide range of disciplines and involved studying zoonotic and infectious agents to understand the dynamic of antimicrobial resistance at national and international levels.
