Our recent paper on #stakeholder opinions on the delivery of environmental components of the UK's #AMR National Action Plan has been written up into a blog! 🦠🌊 Check out the paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... And the blog below ⬇️ @oxonandrew.bsky.social @hollytipper.bsky.social #WAAW

What was missing from the #UK #AMR National Action Plan? ✍️🎯 Better evidence & clear objectives to help understand & combat the role of environmental factors in driving #AMR in the #UK. 👉 bit.ly/4pkL5Qc @lshtmamrcentre.bsky.social @hollytipper.bsky.social @istanton.bsky.social #WAAW2025

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💧🧫🌍

The work on evaluating the UK's #AMR National Action Plan was recently published which focused on stakeholder opinions on the implementation of the 2019-2024 plan 🦠 Check it out below ⬇️ www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @hollytipper.bsky.social @oxonandrew.bsky.social @rebeccaglover.bsky.social

Welcome back to our "meet the researcher" series! Previously we introduced you to our PhD students. Next up - our staff! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🌊🌱🦠🧬

Really excited to start working with Olivia ⬇️🦠 @profjrsnape.bsky.social @hollytipper.bsky.social

Looking forward to our new PhD student, James, joining us soon!! ⬇️🦠

Welcome to our new PhD student Rosie!! ⬇️🦠

Welcome to our "meet the researcher" series!👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 Tune in over the next week as we introduce you to our UKCEH Molecular Ecology PhD researchers and tell you a bit about their projects! 🧪🧬🦠

Thanks Uli! We're welcoming submissions to the npj Antimicrobials & Resistance Collection on Water Testing: Antimicrobial Resistance in Water. We looking for impactful research on AMR & antimicrobials in natural aquatic & engineered water environments 🦠 Submission deadline: 20th Sept 2025

🚨Currently hiring!🚨 Looking for a new challenge? We are hiring a Molecular Biology Technician and a Molecular Ecologist, based at our @ukceh.bsky.social Wallingford site. Follow the links to find out more! 🦠🧬 ceh.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CEH_Ca... ceh.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CEH_Ca...

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...
