Melioidosis kills 40% of cases, yet diagnosis remains a challenge. Many patients died before the arrival of a culture-confirmed diagnosis. With Pop Wongpalee and Tao Uttamapinant, we developed and validated a rapid test for melioidosis👇thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

Typhoid exerts an untenable burden in Africa. We & other African bacteriologists and ID experts worked with International Vaccine Institute (IVI) to study the “Incidence of typhoid fever in 🇧🇫 , 🇨🇩 , 🇪🇹 , 🇬🇭 , 🇲🇬 , & 🇳🇬”. Our findings are just out in The Lancet Global Health thelancet.com/journals/langl……/2

🚩 Deadline for LMICs travel grants to Paris #KLEBS2024 symposium this end of week 🚩

Drug-resistant infections are a global problem. They’re a threat to our health, livelihoods, healthcare systems and national economies. However, the weight of this burden is not felt equally. Not even close. ⤵️🌍 [1/3]

Please join us to hear how genomics is helping in response to the multiple outbreaks of Dengue from the World Health Organization (WHO) hosted International Pathogen Surveillance Network. Register here: echo.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Learn how to effectively utilise AMR genotype-phenotype databases through this free online course starting on September 30th.

Trained in #AMR wet-lab, doing #AMR genome sequencing, but wrangling with bioinformatics coding which is never really your thing? Fret not, AMRColab is here for you! 1) We compiled #AMR analysis (AMRFinderPlus, ResFinder), comparison (hAMRonization) into a GoogleColab - 1/n
