About
Dr. D.J. Hampson is a leading veterinary microbiologist whose research focuses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in companion animals, particularly dogs. His work investigates the transmission dynamics of resistant pathogens, with a key contribution being the development of novel robotic tools to detect faecal shedding of *Escherichia coli* resistant to critically important antimicrobials (CIAs) in healthy dogs. This innovative methodology challenges conventional surveillance approaches, which typically rely on clinical isolates from urinary tract infections, by enabling high-throughput screening of subclinical carriers. Hampson’s findings reveal that healthy dogs can serve as undetected reservoirs for CIA-resistant *E. coli*, underscoring the need for broader community-level monitoring. While his most-cited paper (2025) currently has 1 citation, its early impact highlights a paradigm shift in AMR surveillance. His work bridges veterinary medicine and public health, emphasizing the One Health approach to combatting antimicrobial resistance.
