@jgarciaiglesias.bsky.social Interesting discussion around what genomics we need in AMR - policymakers and communities don't know what they need so there needs to be live discussion around surveillance @target-amr.bsky.social #TARGetAMR26

🌟Great start to #TARGetAMR26! 🎙️Today we heard an inspiring keynote, insightful talks and fantastic discussions on AMR genomics Plus our Co-Directors @wvschaik.bsky.social @ksbakes.bsky.social unveiled: 🚀Launch of our Flexible Funding Initiative 📚Debut of the TARGetAMR comic ⌛️We can't wait for Day 2!

Super-excited to be organising the first in-person meeting of the @target-amr.bsky.social network today and tomorrow. We will be launching an initiative for pump-priming and an amazing comic by Eddie Ross on AMR Genomics

Hot off the press in @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social! In (Un)intended Consequences, we conduct a #socsci stocktake of 10 years of research on #AMR interventions, highlight the need for more contextual #antimicrobial governance & make recommendations #GAP'26! #IDSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@kirchhelle.bsky.social kicks off @target-amr.bsky.social discussing AMR opportunities and challenges. I would like to know what the world learnt from the #pandemic that can be translated to #AMR, especially as this is not a vaccine-preventable problem? #TARGetAMR26

Here we go @target-amr.bsky.social

On my way to @target-amr.bsky.social conference in Birmingham. See you there @wvschaik.bsky.social @imibirmingham.bsky.social

Many talented colleagues and excellent speakers at the @target-amr.bsky.social conference tomorrow @wvschaik.bsky.social #TARGetAMR26. I'll post some thoughts here, flying the flag for @ukhsa.bsky.social and @imibirmingham.bsky.social www.targetamr.org.uk/hdrevents/ta...

Candida UTI? The only azole available (if sensitive) is fluconazole. Why?

Pearl of the week: Compare and contrast DILI in flucloxacillin vs cefazolin. They key thing is that a *single* dose of cefazolin can cause LFT derrangment.
