If antibiotics aren’t helping, go back to your doctor, don’t wait it out. Use antibiotics only when prescribed, finish the course, don’t save leftovers, and never share them. Smart use = slowing #AMR. #vanessacarteramr.bsky.social #WAAW www.bbc.com/news/article...

AMR is hitting LMICs hard. But with stronger political commitment, better surveillance, improved WASH and IPC, and sustained investment in stewardship and innovation, these countries could make major progress in containing #AMR. #WAAW www.downtoearth.org.in/health/waaw-...

This virtual seminar “Societal Perspectives and Prioritisation of AMR Interventions” — 14 Nov 2025, 09:30 UK will present perspectives on which #AMR Interventions matter most. Part of the global momentum after #UNGA79 & ahead of the new WHO AMR strategy (2026). www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/e...

The fight against AMR will not be won in laboratories alone, but in our shared habits of everyday life. We need infection prevention, vaccination, hand hygiene, and a global culture that values responsibility over convenience and stewardship over complacency.

"Too often #AMR is framed as an immense although conceptually simple challenge: delay resistance to current drugs and produce new drugs. But we need to go beyond this, we need to pull every lever at our disposal to minimise infection even before we turn to drugs." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

WHO reports 1 in 6 bacterial infections worldwide are antibiotic-resistant, with resistance rising sharply since 2018. Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and K. pneumoniae pose the biggest threat. Action on #AMR surveillance and responsible antibiotic use is needed. www.who.int/news/item/13...

Across Southeast Asia most newborn infections are now caused #AMR bugs, making standard treatments for neonatal sepsis ineffective. Without updated, locally informed treatment guidelines and new antibiotic development, infant mortality rates will rise. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Pioneering Norwegian research demonstrates that environmental criteria in antibiotic procurement can boost sustainability, reduce shortages, and protect public health. #PublicHealth #AMR doi.org/10.1016/j.pu...

The deadly Klebsiella pneumoniae can resist nearly all antibiotics. Colleagues found a new antibody that blocks its protective coat, helping the immune system clear the infection. This offers hope against the “silent pandemic” of #AMR. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Horizon Europe has launched a €253M AMR partnership to accelerate innovation and move potential therapies closer to market. The first funding call, focused on treatments, will open in November following a pre-announcement in mid-October. sciencebusiness.net/news/r-d-fun...

The group in #brianhie.bsky.social at Stanford used AI to design the first-ever functional bacteriophages. AI can explore countless phage genomes in silico, speeding discovery of new alternatives to antibiotics. A breakthrough for #AMR, but also raises ethical & safety questions. #AI #Biotech
