Really enjoyed Journal Club today about the economics and practicalities of disinfecting shared medical equipment. Loads of great audience questions! Recording here: https://t.co/lEys37StiJ

Really looking forward to this one with @juderobinson5. So much to talk about. So many opportunities to involve patients in hand hygiene: challenge, audit, communications, applied research, and more…

An important call is emerging from scientists, physicians, and patients to add C. difficile to the WHO priority list.....@ECDC_EU @rivm @NVMM_NL @EurFmt

Drug-resistant infections know no borders 💊

That’s why tomorrow, a UN High-Level Meeting will take place to address the global issue of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR).

Explore the latest research 🧵

[Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy]

I am here in New York for the UN High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance.

The message is clear: save antibiotics, save lives.

[Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy]

New data released today in @TheLancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050.

Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action.

This Genome Watch discuses metagenomic surveys that have revealed the extensive prevalence and diversity of plasmids in the human gut microbiome, and the challenges in reporting plasmid genomes from metagenomic data.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in the global community.

A Review in @TheLancetInfDis aims to achieve consensus on a reference standard for UTI and increase consistency between studies: https://t.co/lcnQ0Aie4x

@kallmemeg Congrats Meaghan, good luck with the PH training programme

[Ed Kuijper @EdKuijper2]

Thanks for this French-Dutch-USA collaboration! FMT doesn't eradicate antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria, but changes the gut microbiome and possibly reduces infections. @EurFmt @SmitsLab @jvanprehn @GMFHx @HostMicrobeLit https://t.co/ci4fClDDuD

"It’s not a silent pandemic for the families and communities affected by #AMR. We must protect modern medicine for future generations or face catapulting from the 21st century to the 19th."
