WHO publishes update on global antibiotic resistance

A new report from WHO highlights the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance, particularly in regions with limited surveillance and access to antibiotics. Timothy Jesudason reports.

I should add: many AMR/stewardship interventions don't measure microbiological outcomes such as we did. By measuring microbiological outcomes using longitudinal stool sampling, we provided rare insight into AMR transmission dynamics in rural sub-Saharan Africa #Episky #IDsky

New PREPRINT! tinyurl.com/yynzevrh Thanks to a true transdisciplinary collaboration, we developed and evaluated a low-cost community #AMR intervention set in rural Burkina Faso and DRCongo. Combining #WHO #AWaRe–based feedback/training (medicine providers) and AMR awareness campaigns (community).

I am open to the idea that there are people who don't have and don't want to gain the skills to engage directly with their data but every single day that I do I learn the answer to a question you'd never even think to ask unless you were personally staring into the abyss of an uncleaned dataset.

At the 9th AMR Conference in Basel today, Olga Tosas Auguet from @who.int shared key updates on global AMR trends from the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS).

Rather than resistricting risk monitoring to reactive outbreak response, we highlight effective applications that enhance early detection and prevention of outbreaks. This aligns with #CollaborativeSurveillance @who.int and its advocacy for integrated/ cross-sectoral approaches to ID surveillance.

From the 100 Day Mission to 100 lines of software development: how to improve early outbreak analytics

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, considerable advances have been made to improve epidemic preparedness by accelerating diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine development. However, we argue that it is crucial to make equivalent efforts in the field of outbreak analytics to help ensure reliable, evidence-based decision making. To explore the challenges and key priorities in the field of outbreak analytics, the Epiverse-TRACE initiative brought together a multidisciplinary group of experts, including field epidemiologists, data scientists, academics, and software engineers from public health institutions across multiple countries.
