Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of our greatest global health challenges.
But gaps in the data mean it can be difficult to understand the true scale of the threat.
Our latest explainer video, featuring @DrKambugu and @PaulTurnerMicro, has all you need to know ⤵️ #WAAW2024

Quite a few people have asked whether they can attend the 567th inaugural lecture online. That's not typical here so we thank @CoMUIIbadan for making it possible. Note the time change - it is now 3PM on Thur 21 Nov, Trenchard Hall @UniIbadan or Youtube youtube.com/live/3rmvIBJfvo0

🌍Attention ACORN2 and ACORN-HAI sites! 📊We're launching the ACORN-HAI-LITE survey to improve antimicrobial surveillance. Your feedback is key! Participate now: nus.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…

Hello AMR friends: the ACORN account is alive and well...we've regained access after many frustrating months!
ACORN2 surveillance data is being written up as we speak: expect GRAM-challenging manuscripts on AMR burden, mortality, and economic impact over the coming months 😀
Just spent an excellent three days in Nairobi with the @ACORN_AMR team, reviewing preliminary results, planning further analyses, and proposing next steps for the network.
Manuscripts coming soon!
@ACORN_AMR presented the main results of the AMR surveillance project, showcasing high-quality data on the burden of AMR in low-resource settings across 19 sites in 9 countries. By connecting microbiology lab data with patient outcomes, they are helping to close data gaps

Finally! 4 years after scientific fraud & politicised science derailed it, #COPCOV, the world’s largest COVID-19 chemoprevention study, published results today in @PLOSMedicine: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) does have a moderate benefit in preventing #COVID-19

MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) rates are going up globally. Many low resource settings don’t have access to vancomycin or therapeutic drug monitoring BUT cotrimoxazole is widely available and cheap.

@PaulTurnerMicro and colleagues in Cambodia explored the pediatric nasopharyngeal microbiota with culture, MALDI-TOF MS, and targeted metagenomic sequencing. This was technically feasible and revealed complex lineage-level colonization dynamics. #mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
I'm giving a talk about strengthening the link between AMR and sepsis surveillance at the World Sepsis Congress Spotlight in a couple of weeks...
It's online, free, and the other speakers look great😀

Does @WHO's AWaRe (Access, Watch, Reserve) antibiotic book to promote rational use of antibiotics match the epidemiology of infectious diseases & antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in Laos & other LMICs? What important pathogens are missing?
