The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded the University of Virginia a Project Grant totaling $795,990 under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) on April 23, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2031. This award supports a comprehensive research initiative to identify and target antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene superspreaders within hospital ecosystems. The project addresses the critical challenge of carbapenemase resistance genes that have persisted in hospital wastewater premise plumbing despite ongoing disinfection efforts for over 15 years. The research combines expertise in genomics, epidemiology, microbiology, infection control, and network science to investigate gene mobility mechanisms and identify key bacterial and genetic superspreaders driving AMR transmission. The grant funds three synergistic research objectives: investigating gene mobility within bacterial cells through advanced genomics and mathematical modeling to identify dominant transposons moving the carbapenemase gene in patient and environmental isolates; identifying plasmids driving carbapenemase gene transfer between bacteria and analyzing biological factors influencing gene transmission; and developing network-based strategies to disrupt AMR transmission at its source. By characterizing how resistance genes move within and between bacterial species, this research aims to enable targeted intervention strategies that halt antimicrobial resistance spread in hospital environments, ultimately reducing the global health burden of AMR-related infections.Federal Grant Award Summary
