Dr Anna Sheppard is a Lecturer in Bioinformatics at the University of Adelaide. Her research uses bacterial whole-genome sequencing to investigate the molecular epidemiology and transmission of bacterial pathogens both within outbreaks, as well as across geographic and ecological barriers within a One Health framework. She has a particular focus on antimicrobial resistance dissemination driven by mobile genetic elements, and she has developed novel bioinformatic methods for resistance gene tracking. Her research has been published in leading journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Microbiology, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Anna completed her PhD at the University of Adelaide in 2009, before undertaking postdoctoral training at Kiel University, Germany, and the University of Oxford, UK. She returned to the University of Adelaide as a Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences in December 2021.

Modern medicine is heavily dependent on the availability of effective antibiotics. The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens threatens to push medicine towards a ‘post-antibiotic’ era, where bacterial infections can no longer be reliably treated. Our research aims to improve understanding of bacterial genome evolution driving AMR dissemination, with the longer-term goal of using this information for designing interventions to reduce the spread of resistance.

Research in the Sheppard lab focuses particularly on ‘mobile AMR genes’ that can be transferred horizontally and confer resistance in different bacterial species. Mobility of these genes is driven by associations with different types of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including:

  • Plasmids, which drive horizontal transfer between different bacteria
  • Transposons, which drive intracellular mobilisation from one genomic location to another (e.g. one plasmid to another, or from a plasmid to the chromosome)
  • Integrons, which can capture multiple AMR genes, generating multi-drug resistance regions

AMR genes can be contained within multiple nested MGEs, creating ‘Russian Doll-like’ hierarchies, where each MGE is capable of independent mobilisation (Fig. 1). Over time, activity of different MGEs drives AMR gene spread across different plasmids and to different host bacteria. Because many different MGEs can be involved, AMR gene spread is associated with varied, and often complex, genomic rearrangements.

Nested MGEs containing an AMR gene

Our research uses whole-genome sequencing of bacterial pathogens to investigate mobile AMR genes and their associated MGEs. We use both short-read and long-read sequencing technologies. Long-read sequencing is particularly important for determining the genetic contexts of AMR genes because many MGEs are repetitive and therefore assemble poorly using short-read data. With long-read whole-genome sequencing we can routinely assemble complete, fully closed bacterial genomes, with a single contig for the bacterial chromosome and one contig for each plasmid.

We are particularly interested in determining dissemination pathways of mobile AMR genes. This is important both for characterising short-term transmission pathways for guiding infection control, as well as broader dissemination across geographic, ecological and species barriers for guiding strategies to tackle resistance within a One Health framework. In addition, we are interested in developing approaches for AMR gene tracking in the context of AMR surveillance.

Our research aims to:

  • Determine how associations with different MGEs impact AMR spread
  • Determine how MGE activity impacts bacterial genome evolution
  • Improve biological understanding of MGEs driving AMR gene mobility
  • Inform optimal sequence-based surveillance strategies for tracking critical AMR genes
  • Develop software for AMR gene tracking using whole-genome sequencing data

Student Opportunities

Postgraduate and undergraduate student opportunities are available in the Sheppard lab, and we welcome students from both biological and computational backgrounds. While some previous bioinformatics experience is preferable, it is not necessary.
