Owen Brad Spiller

Currently the Head of Medical Microbiology and run the bacteria whole genome sequencing facility at Cardiff University School of Medicine. My interests are in discovery of novel antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, characterisation of existing antimicrobial genes and changes in prevalence and distribution of antimicrobial resistance across Europe and in Lower-to-Middle Income countries. Particularly where studies involve neonatal sepsis. Key research currently on GBS, Mollicutes and Legionella
