the fantastic @mmPharmD & @EB_Hirsch “Swifties” co-authors discuss A xylosoxidans resistance mechanisms with implications for @AMRStewardship!

Access group antibiotic consumption correlates very well with regional consumption in Italy, indicating that regions with higher consumption also have worse prescribing patterns with a greater impact on bacterial resistance:

Kampamba et al. report widespread use of antibiotics, with most being accessed without prescription
Most respondents showed moderately good knowledge, poor practices & low adherence toward short-term antibiotic use:

Despite the wealth of literature on fluoroquinolone resistance, there is a notable information stagnation in terms of understanding the molecular contributors to resistance!

Abdelhamed et al. characterized the genetic structure of 3 plasmids from Plesiomonas shigelloides strain MS-17-188 and conducted a comparative analysis to determine related resistance genes & their potential sources

Outcome-driven decision-making in pediatric surgery leads to antibiotic overprescription & prolonged prophylaxis
The rationale for suboptimal practices is complicated by surgeons’ beliefs about the contextual determinants of health

This systematic review of the molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistance genes in paediatric A. baumannii infections found a high prevalence (66.6%) of carbapenem resistance with significant variation across WHO regions:

New PRO/CON debate in @jac_amr!
Does environmental microbiological surveillance support infection control in veterinary hospitals?
Brandy A Burgess introduces the debate:

@OUPMedicine @OxfordJournals #JACAMRNews #IDXPosts #AntimicrobialStewardship
2/3
Dorina Timofte & Rosanne E Jepson argue in favour:
“We need to monitor the presence of antimicrobial resistant pathogens in veterinary setting to prevent their transmission between clinical environments, patients, hospital staff and owners”
doi.org/10.1093/jacamr/dlae1…
3/3
While Fergus Allerton & Scott Weese contend there are more appropriate measures:
“Environmental surveillance conveys little actionable data to guide infection control. Veterinary hospital funds should be directed towards other measures to reduce HAIs”

This research by Parzygnat et al. focuses on the comparison of Campylobacter prevalence and #AntimicrobialResistance profiles between backyard and commercial broiler production systems in the USA:

The UK Antimicrobial Registry (UKAR) captures data on real-world usage of antimicrobial agents to support healthcare in the UK and more widely and contribute to AMR National Action Plan goals

Results from the CAPTAIN study, an in-depth analysis of antimicrobial prescribing in nursing homes, show a large potential for improvement in this setting and offer opportunities for future interventions:

Artificial intelligence in the teaching of antibiotic stewardship paired with gamified learning may be a scalable teaching concept to improve both factual knowledge & the perceived safety of prescribing antibiotics:

"Drug-resistant infections are happening on the scale of a pandemic." A new article, produced as part of our collaboration with The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, uncovers the threat of neonatal sepsis and the rise of #AMR in Nigeria and Ethiopia. thebureauinvestigates.com/st…
@dennisnurjadi et al. found simplified urine processing methods using DirecTool adaptor and lateral flow assay effectively detect ESBL-producers, offering a resource-efficient alternative for #AntimicrobialStewardship in LMICs:
