The Foundation to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance

Calling on all #AMR researchers and enthusiasts! The annual Educational and Research Grant is open for application. Do you believe in preventive strategies to combat #AMR? Is your work currently revolving around these preventive methods? This is for you. #ApplyNow

@Elishabulus06 The WHO recommends at least 20 seconds. 2 minutes is good but might not be so realistic in our fast-paced world.

@ResResistance 2 minutes is good

To end our campaign on #WorldHandHygieneDay, we want to know how well you know your way around proper hand hygiene. How long are you supposed to wash your hands for? Let us know in the comments. #HandHygiene #Quiz #ProperHandHygiene #AntimicrobialResistance

#WorldHandHygieneDay might have passed but we aren't done talking about how beneficial this act is in #SavingLives (literally) This mind-blowing fact from the @CDCgov b further proves why you should #washyourhands regularly. That being said, have you washed your hands today?

@Medlabconvo @AMRWISE360 @AmrInsights @amr_initiative @gardp_amr Definitely!

@ResResistance @AMRWISE360 @AmrInsights @amr_initiative @gardp_amr The little but life-saving acts that matter. #WorldHygieneDay

Have you washed your hands today? If you have not, now you have a legitimate reason to do so—It is #WorldHandHygieneDay Remember, #CleanHandsSaveLives so if you have not washed your hands today, go do so now as your contribution to #PreventingAMR #ActionSavesLives #ActNow

Tag someone in the comments to do the same to keep the chain going. #BreaktheChain

Application closes tomorrow. Have you applied? Tag someone who still hasn't this. They have limited time to apply now. #Application #ApplyNow #AMR

It's a #NewWeek and a good time to remind you that AMR is not selective in its rampage. Regardless of your location, #AMR is a problem, and we must act together if we are to defeat this threat. #ActNow, get educated, and remember that this affects everything, everyone. #Monday

#Tweet 1/5 🧵 Two years ago, we had a bold dream: to host Uganda’s first-ever National AMR Run at @MulagoReferral. We wanted to shout about the dangers of drug resistance, but getting off the starting line was a marathon in itself. 🏃‍♂️🇺🇬 #AMR #HealthAdvocacy

In case you missed it! The applications for the Research and Educational Grants are still open. You have 8 days to send in your application before it is closed. Scan the QR code in the flyer to apply NOW. #ICYMI #Applications #8daystogo #ApplyNow

Share this with someone who needs to understand why our relationship with antimicrobials matters! #AntimicrobialResistance

What is the science behind #antimicrobialresistance? Think of it as a toxic love story between an age-long organism and a naive chemical compound, fueled by the actions of third parties: US! We have broken it down here in this 'relatable' explainer video. #AMR #LoveStory

Share this with someone who believes this myth to learn something this week!

Does your body become resistant to the antibiotics, or does the bacteria become resistant? This week, we will be delving into the science behind #AMR, and we are starting with busting the myth behind resistance. #MythBustingMonday #AMRFacts #ResistantBacteria

Our AMR Champion for this week is @UKAMREnvoy She has spent much of her career writing extensively and talking about the rise of #AMR in one health, hence becoming the UK AMR Special Envoy, member of the @GLGAMR and @UN Interagency Coordination Group. #AMRChampionSpotlight

Using the right antibiotics, at the right time, with the right prescription, and with proper diagnosis. Remember this the next time you want to use an antibiotic without seeing the doctor first! #RightDrug #RightPrescription

We have established that it will probably take decades for new antibiotics to get developed but what can we do to ensure that the current antibiotics will still work? This is where stewardship comes in. #AntimicrobialStewardship #Antibiotics

Our charge for you this week is for you to use fewer drugs and practice more preventive measures. Don't know these preventive measures? We have a post up on our page outlining them. #NewWeek #ActNow #DrugEffectiveness #

Why don't scientists just develop new antibiotics to combat #AntimicrobialResistance? This is not as simple as it is as we are back in the dark ages where the development of #antimicrobials has slowed compared to how fast bacteria are becoming resistant. #Mythbusting #NewWeek
