Since it's World Antibiotic Awareness Week, let's revisit the recent article in which Llewelyn et al. convincingly argue that it's time to drop the message that not finishing a course of antibiotics contributes to resistance. Because it's incorrect #WAAW bmj.com/content/358/bm…

This week, Harry Akligoh gave the first in person #AMR session and reintroduced the Microbis app for mapping resistance strains in Africa! 🦠 Are you working on #AntimicrobialResistance in Africa? Join our microgrant challenge! 👉 app.jogl.io/challenge/amra…

This weekend has been super busy leading my team to conduct an #AMR workshop. Good thing, it coincided with the #AntimicrobialResistance2021 week. I introduced the trainees to microbis.io a novel AI tech we built to enable bacteria identification and #AMR mapping.

The surge of #AMR, a silent global pandemic can only be overcome with continuous training and the use of novel tools and technologies like #AI. My team and I continued this training effort this weekend as part of Microbiology Society and JOGL funding support in Kumasi.

We’re excited to be training the next #AMR “fighters” in Ghana equipping them with key skills and tools required for identification of AMR bacteria 🦠 in Ghana.
