💙Throughout #WAAW, we’ve been sharing our top AMR stories of the year.

🏨In July, an IOI-led study in Nigeria - a country with one of the world's highest infant death rates - helped one hospital reduce newborn deaths by almost half.

80 years after the Nobel Prize for penicillin, antimicrobial resistance is one of societies toughest challenges. GSK, the Fleming Initiative, and the @ineosoxford.bsky.social hosted leaders at the Royal Society of Medicine to advance the global response.

Surveillance is critical for tackling AMR, but UK efforts need to be strengthened. The Microbiology Society and PATH-SAFE brought together 16 government agencies to explore how to change that.

This week is World #AntimicrobialResistance Awareness week

To mark the occasion, Dr Scott-Dearing reflects on her @natcomms.nature.com paper published in January, noting the setbacks and progress made in tackling #AMR since
World AMR Awareness Week call to action: Patient and public involvement and engagement to improve impact on antimicrobial resistance – the time to act is now
A step change is required in citizen awareness of the global AMR health crisis and, crucially, public involvement in tackling it. The global context presents new challenges but real-world examples show what is possible and an historic moment approaches, that we can leverage for positive action.

🌍 World AMR Awareness Week 2025 is just around the corner!

🌐 This year, the Hub will share realities and success stories from #SixContinents, showcasing how countries and communities are driving action through R&D, innovation, and collaboration.

Stay tuned! #WAAW2025

🪰Research shows flies can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and that low - & middle- income countries face the heaviest #AMR burden.

🧫At the IOI, research assistant Teresa Iannetelli samples flies from around the world, studying how insects spread resistance genes - and how we can stop them.

It's #OneHealth day!

🌍A One Health approach to tackling global crises helps us understand how humans fit together alongside wildlife and the environment.

🪰At the IOI, our research has found #AMR is no different - plastic waste can increase it's spread, and birds/flies can carry AMR genes.

It's #WorldPhageWeek! (Oct 22-28)

Bacteriophages - viruses that hunt bacteria - are the most abundant organisms on earth.

At the IOI, researchers explore how phage therapy could be a simple, low-cost alternative to antibiotics.

Because in the future fight against AMR, all the world's a phage!🌍

Fast, affordable diagnostic tests could limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR).

They identify bacteria & their resistance levels, so patients get the right antibiotic.

Oxford DPhil student Natasha Salant uses mathematical models to see how these may affect AMR in the UK and Malawi.

🩺October 20th is Clean Hospitals Day - a celebration of hygiene in healthcare & the hospital staff who make it happen.

Bacteria can survive for months on hospital surfaces, and if these bacteria have antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, they pose a serious threat to patients and staff.

The burden of #AMR isn't spread evenly, and we need to strengthen global surveillance in those places hit the hardest by drug-resistant infections.

Antibiotic resistance is more common and worsening in places where health systems are fragile or have limited capacity to diagnose or treat bacterial infections.

Investing in diagnostics and equitable access to quality antibiotics is essential. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/438Ta1u
