Objective
The overall objective of RAMDETEC is to develop and apply new technological solutions based on molecular techniques and high-throughput sequencing omics technologies for the isolation, detection and identification of microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance from food matrices in a precise, rapid and effective way, thus preventing their entry into the food chain. The project also involves the validation of these new techniques for their implementation in official food controls.
