This article discusses reducing antibiotic use in livestock to combat AMR, highlighting successful European practices that improve farming without harming productivity. ourworldindata.org/antibiotics-...

Achieving Value and Sustainability in Prescribing: 1. Items of low and limited clinical value 2. Cost Effective use of Blood Glucose Monitoring and Insulin Pen Needles 3. Effective use of antimicrobials @scottishgovernment.bsky.social #PharmSky #MedSky www.gov.scot/publications...

Large amounts of antibiotics are used in livestock, and overuse is a risk for antibiotic resistance. But there are ways to reduce this — and several countries have shown how.

This #AMR thing gets scarier by the day! Ceftazidime-avibactam /aztreonam resistance in a NDM producing E coli! 😱 #IDSky #ClinMicro

Great to see The Hindu newspaper reporting on antimicrobial use in agriculture in India, and consequences of driving AMR from a #onehealth perspective.

To save you time, I have distilled this down to the one (probably only) sentence that will be cited ad nauseum (until the next update of course). www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #AMR #IDSky #MicroSky

The UKHSA report on ICU BSI is out and well worth a read. I know very little about the epi of ICU infections and so won't provide much commentary. #bsi #hcai #icu #epidemiology www.gov.uk/government/s...

The UKHSA ESPAUR report is out today. It's a massive report on the use of antimicrobials in England and the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. Bonus data: also includes preliminary results of the #hcai point prevalence survey. www.gov.uk/government/p...

As its #WAAW next week I thought I would share some episodes of Going Macro on Micro I was involved with that talk about the importance of #onehealth Three episodes currently dropped, three more to come open.spotify.com/episode/00MJ...

Another cracker of an #AMR cartoon, this time from the National Centre of Antimicrobial Stewardship Only 27 days until #WAAW - are you getting ready?

Hopefully DURATION study will eventually inform on whether we may be able to go even lower than 7 days.... (not comparing like with like, i know, as this study inclusion is pyelo, irrespective of bacteraemia) #UTISky #IDSky www.phctrials.ox.ac.uk/recruiting-t...

Hey welcome! I'm making an #AMR starter pack - am adding to it as people turn up! go.bsky.app/KkZfvrh And there's an AMR feed you can follow also bsky.app/profile/did:...
