I’m delighted to see Department of Health and Social Care launch the five-year plan to combat AMR, setting out initiatives including investing in innovation in diagnostics and vaccines so infections can be prevented where possible and diagnosed before antibiotics are prescribed 👇NHS England
Leading experts in The Lancet warn of an increase in deaths if the world does not prioritise action on #AMR LSHTM’s Clare Chandler explains why our overuse of antibiotics is a growing risk to public health 💊📈 👉bit.ly/4bS62Ls
New antibiotics are not coming out fast enough to address the rise of drug resistance, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report. Expanding coverage of #typhoid vaccines can reduce the need for antibiotics & slow drug resistance💉 #VaccinesWork to #StopSuperbugs! #TakeOnTyphoid
🔉Out today in Communications Biology - our genomic analysis of earliest H58 S. Typhi organisms isolated from returning travellers to the UK suggests this highly successful lineage emerged in 1987 in India, likely from a chronic carrier, and was already MDR. nature.com/articles/s4200…
Delighted to see this excellent piece of work from brilliant colleagues Zoe Anne Dyson, Phil Ashton, @DrKatHolt using surveillance data from three #Typhoid endemic sites to interrogate pathogen diversity, transmission and #AMR. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…… Take on Typhoid
New research alert 🔔 A study in The Lancet Microbe by Zoe Anne Dyson reveals high levels of drug-resistant typhoid in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Malawi. Calls for increased focus on vaccination and WASH to combat this public health threat. Read more👇 bit.ly/45X8mz0
What an excellent opportunity presenting at #ISOPOL! I showed a sneak peak of my next publication with Claire Jenkins and landed my first python program creating visual maps 🌍: For the inquisitive beans, check it out: github.com/EmilyFotopoulo…
So, that’s a wrap from us - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Bakery and friends! This was such a genuine team effort both in house and with an amazing set of collaborators (not to mention two babies along the way!) And thanks so much to Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research for the funding!
