We process our monitoring samples in a variety of ways, which include #phenotypic testing for #AMR, as well as using #molecular methods such as #qPCR and #sequencing to look for specific antimicrobial resistance genes 🦠🧬👩‍🔬🧫 #WAAW

Happy World #AMR Awareness Week! #WAAW #WAAW25 At @ukceh.bsky.social our AMR researchers work on both #bacterial and #fungal AMR! We undertake research monitoring AMR in many different environments (water 🌊, wastewater 💩, air 💨, soil 🌱 & plants 🌿), which means we get out in the field a lot!

@hollytipper.bsky.social & @istanton.bsky.social went to visit the Unilever labs yesterday to meet up with their PhD student Olivia Mescall and her other supervisors @profjrsnape.bsky.social & Katie Endersby! As well as talking about Olivia's PhD, they went on a tour of the Unilever labs! 🥼🧪

Last month, @hollytipper.bsky.social & @istanton.bsky.social attended the Microbiome Innovation and One Health Conference in Oxford 🦠🧫 They co-presented on their work on #AMR in environmental microbiomes, as well as attending the networking event at @morethanadodo.bsky.social 🦖

@hollytipper.bsky.social is a Senior Molecular Microbiologist working on environmental #AMR. Holly is interested in how resistance spreads through water systems & the environment and what that means for public health. She works at the intersection of science, policy & industry💧🧫🌍

Very happy to be leading on the evolutionary biology within the NIHR funded Opt-AMR project we have just started. Will be looking for a postdoctoral scientist in approximately 2 years time... www.lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/...

3/ in addition to understanding more about how we could undertake an environmental AMR surveillance we also looked at what concentrations of antimicrobials the development of resistance can drive. See here 👉 www.gov.uk/government/p...

6/ Antibiotics 💊 and antifungals are not the only substance that can lead to # resistance. A range of disinfectants 🧪 is currently used in the 🇬🇧 and here we reviewed available information on their potential role in the development of antimicrobial resistance 👉 www.gov.uk/government/p...

#WAAW In addition to yesterday’s posts about #antifungalresistance 🍄, we also reviewed available #data on concentrations at which selection for #AMR has been reported for different #antimicrobials and the approaches used to determine these concentrations 👉 www.gov.uk/government/p... #MicroSky

Some goings on at UKCEH; of particular note is this blog by the AMR team www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med...

Microbial pathogens are growing more resistant, posing serious risks 💊💉. Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment is a complex problem to solve. UKCEH experts discuss their role delivering new #AMR evidence for a national research programme: www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med...
