COST Action (TD0803)

Start Date (23/09/2009)
Detecting Evolutionary Hot Spots of Antibiotic Resistances in Europe (DARE)
MONITORING

PROGRESS REPORT
Reporting Period: from 01/06/2012 – 31/05/2013

This Report is presented to the relevant Domain Committee.

It contains three parts:
I. Management Report prepared by the COST Office/Grant Holder

II. Scientific Report prepared by the Chair of the Management Committee of the Action

III. Previous versions of the Scientific Report; i.e., part II of past reporting periods
The report is a “cumulative” report, i.e. it is updated annually and covers the entire period of the Action.
Confidentiality: the documents will be made available to the public via the COST Action web page except for chapter II.D. Self evaluation.
Based on the monitoring results, the COST Office will decide on the following year’s budget allocation.


Executive summary (max.250 words):

The Action has determined potential test systems for the detection of antibiotics and antibiotic resistances and has jointly published these. Furthermore had the Action identified that one of the largest lack of expertise throughout the disciplines is the bioinformatic identification of antibiotic resistance gens as the Action has determined that this needs to be part of a future detection system. Cosnequently, the Action has performed two training schools, where a large number of early stage researchers has acquired this expertise. The development of the risk assessment is still in progress, but was already implemented into a joint proposal. Action members were leading in the formulation of two EU proposals, which unfortunatly were not funded, but the proposals assisted in identifying further gaps of knowledge. Furthermore, the Action had a joint workshop with the NORMAN network, which resulted in a joint special issue in Environmental Science and Pollution Research. Due to this workshop parts of the Action will be implemented in a future workgroup on wastetwater reuse of the Norman Network: European network on monitoring/biomonitoring CEC.
