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

New study: NAPs haven’t always led to quick reductions in antibiotic sales. But they may still strengthen infection prevention & control, surveillance, and stewardship. With clearer goals, these efforts could hopefully deliver lasting gains against AMR. #AMR #IPC www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Annual Norwegian NORM/NORM-VET report released. Norway’s strict antibiotic policies pay off. Record-low use in humans & animals, and some of Europe’s lowest #AMR rates. But ESBL & VRE are on the rise, so vigilance is vital. www.unn.no/4a675d/sitea...

I’m looking forward to hosting the Resisforce and Norse annual international #AMR symposium. Oct.24th the focus is on how to communicate complex topics in a time of low trust in knowledge and high polarization. www.fhi.no/en/ab/confer...

Today on World Sepsis Day, neonatal sepsis remains a major killer, taking over 400,000 newborn lives each year, driven by weak immunity, delayed care, and #AMR. Strengthening hygiene, diagnostics, and timely treatment is crucial to closing the survival gap. www.financialexpress.com/life/health/...

Communication for all, in a polarized world. Join us for the annual Resisforce and Norse international symposium. #PublicHealthhttps://www.odont.uio.no/english/about/events/2025/amr-communication-for-all-in-a-polarized-world.html

A new Ebola outbreak in Congo’s Kasai province has killed 15 people, with 28 suspected cases of the Zaire strain. WHO is aiding the response, but recent aid cuts challenge containment. Building the lost U.S. Ebola expertise and response capacity takes time. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

PAHO launched the Suzan McLennon-Miguel AMR Leadership Award to honor Caribbean leaders tackling #AMR, with nominations open until 30 September 2025. The award commemorates Dr. McLennon-Miguel’s One Health legacy and will be announced on 18 November 2025. www.paho.org/en/news/5-9-...

California, Oregon, Washington (and Hawaii) formed the West Coast Health Alliance to provide unified, science-based vaccine guidance after the weakening of CDC. The states aim to restore trust with consistent, evidence-driven recommendations. #PublicHealth www.gov.ca.gov/2025/09/03/c...

Inside Medicine just broke the news that RFK jr. is again trying to pack the CDC’s vaccine committee with allies. We need vetting on these people. They vote on legally binding national vaccine policy. Read and contribute to the crowdsourcing! insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-r...

Gov. DeSantis and Surgeon General Ladapo announced plans to repeal all vaccine mandates, making Florida the first state to eliminate such requirements. This move will endanger children, disrupt vaccine access, and increase risks of preventable disease outbreaks www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Pharmacists are key in fighting #AMR: ensuring rational antibiotic use, promoting vaccination, supporting stewardship & patient education. We back the #FIP Copenhagen Declaration for global action. pharmacydaily.com.au/news/psa-joi...

Misuse of antibiotics and poor regulation are accelerating #AMR globally, challenging modern health care. Better adherence to National Action Plans, enforcing responsible use, and raising awareness are critical to preserve the effectiveness of these medicines. www.thenews.com.pk/latest/13404...

After CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired for resisting vaccine policy changes, @jeremyfaust.bsky.social reminds us that public health must come before ideology. #USANotRFK

Gaslight much lately? RFK Jr. fires thousands of employees, undermines trust, installs anti-vax leaders, then tells staff "Reform strengthens you". That’s not leadership, it’s a Judas kiss with a smile. #publichealth #USAnotRFK www.wrdw.com/2025/08/30/r...

UCLA Health ended an NDM-1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak by tracing it to an ICU sink biofilm via whole-genome sequencing, then eliminating it with targeted disinfection, plumbing changes, and staff education—showcasing the power of diverse IPC measures. #AMR www.newswise.com/articles/the...

The U.S. decision to deny visas to Palestinian delegates who were planning to attend the UNGA meeting about the recognition of a Palestinian state is highly problematic. It also raises concerns about its role as the UN’s host country. #Gaza www.state.gov/releases/off...

Norway’s Oil Fund sold its Caterpillar shares over ethical concerns tied to Israel. Senator Graham calls the move “offensive” and threaten with consequences. The Fund is managed on financial and ethical guidelines, not political pressure. etikkradet.no/caterpillar-... www.nrk.no/norge/usa-se...

Telling a close NATO ally to “calm down” in the middle of a sovereignty and security dispute comes across as dismissive, arrogant, and diplomatically provocative. #Greenland www.bbc.com/news/article...

PAHO warned that, until now, relatively rare #AMR pertussis strains are spreading in the Americas, likely driven by inappropriate macrolide use during COVID-19. The organization urges urgent action through vaccination, surveillance, and responsible antibiotic use. www.cidrap.umn.edu/pertussis/pa...

In May, Denmark’s Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. chargé d’affaires over reports of US spying in Greenland. Now DR reveals that men linked to the US President are trying to infiltrate Greenland and weaken ties with Denmark, according to PET. #Greenland www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Norwegian Post will stop all shipments to the USA under $800 from August 23 because the U.S. has removed the duty-free threshold and introduced mandatory prepayment of customs duties, but the details and systems are not yet in place. www.mynewsdesk.com/no/posten-br...

Strong leaders listen before they lead. They welcome counterarguments, learn when persuaded, and explain when they disagree. Weak leaders avoid uncivil critics yet attack those who are polite, mistaking aggression for strength and dialogue for weakness.

#AMR infections are surging in Gaza as health care collapses. 60% of lower-limb wounds come from explosive weapons, driving infections amid medicine shortages and destroyed labs. MSF & WHO warn: zero fully functional hospitals. #Gaza #infectiousdisease www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

At #IADR2025 in Barcelona, the RESISFORCE network led by Prof. Fernanda Petersen united global experts to address #AMR in oral health. Highlights included WHO, FDI, Brazil, and Norway. #theAMRnarrative #vanessacarteramr www.odont.uio.no/english/abou...

Most people who say they’re allergic to penicillin aren’t. Less than 1% truly are. Colleagues use detailed interviews and safe skin or oral tests to confirm allergies, helping avoid unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotics and fight #AMR. www.sciencealert.com/up-to-1-in-5...

Bacteria in soil are carrying more #AMR genes that are also found in people. Hence, the germs in soil and humans are becoming more similar, likely because these genes are being shared, and that could make it harder to treat infections if the trend continues. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Brazilian startup Karaja Biosciences is using bacteriophages to fight mastitis in dairy cows. This may cut antibiotic use and help tackle #AMR. A #OneHealth solution rooted in science and nature. pesquisaparainovacao.fapesp.br/empresa_bras...

Low vaccination rates lead to more infections and antibiotic use, driving resistance. Vaccines help prevent this and protect antibiotic effectiveness. #AMR #InfectiousDisease #PublicHealth #OneHealth castlegarsource.com/2025/07/28/h...

#TB drug patents are falling, new oral treatments are faster and cheaper, and even drug-resistant cases are now treatable. The science has moved. The question is: will policy catch up? #AMR ourworldindata.org/ending-tuber...

On July 22, 2011, a terrorist attack in Norway killed 77 people. Yesterday, hateful messages appeared on the 22 July Centre’s homepage. This is a sad reminder that the extremist views behind the attack are still present, and that vigilance and remembrance remain essential. www.nrk.no/norge/22.-ju...

25 countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Norway, and several EU member states, have just issued a joint call to end the war in Gaza now. They urge Israel to lift restrictions on aid, ensure safe UN access, support a ceasefire, commit to a political path forward. www.gov.uk/government/n...

UK has shut down the £265 million #FlemingFund, which supported #AMR surveillance in 25 LMICs, due to aid budget cuts tied to increased defense spending. This move will harm global health and damage UK's reputation as a reliable international partner in fighting AMR. observer.co.uk/news/science...

They’re downplaying it and acting all macho, as if their actions aren’t fueling climate change. #Wildfires

After years of conflict and the withdrawal of international forces in 2021, major political and economic upheaval followed in Afghanistan. Migrants continue to face hardship as neighbouring countries deport them back, where they face increased health risks. www.latestly.com/agency-news/...

Nobel Peace Prize paradox: Nominations are secret for 50 years. Still, politicians apparently leak their own to score points now. A prize meant to honor real peacemakers should not be used as a PR stunt. #Donotexploitpeace #NobelPeacePrize #Paradox www.nrk.no/nyheter/neta...

SCOTUS limits use of nationwide injunctions against presidential actions, potentially making it harder for courts to swiftly block a president’s policies. This will shape how current and future US presidents exercise executive power and how the judiciary can check it. www.bbc.com/news/live/cz...
