Research environments may unintentionally create or amplify resistance traits that escape through waste, personnel, or supply chains. Robust solutions must combine laboratory engineering, surveillance, waste treatment, and international reporting. The solution must work with limited capital, intermittent services, and local maintenance capacity. The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
