The ESCMID Study Group on Mobile Elements And Plasmids (ESGMAP) serves as a reference and coordinating group within ESCMID, dedicated to advancing research, detection, and control of mobile elements and plasmids. These elements are fundamental drivers of antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and bacterial evolution, influencing microbial populations in clinical, environmental, and agricultural settings.
ESGMAP is committed to:
