@VCarterAMR @theAMRnarrative @WHO @AmrInsights @AntibioticsThe @NHS We totally agree More work needs to be done in the surveillance and research area

@ResResistance @theAMRnarrative @WHO @AmrInsights @AntibioticsThe I have a large, paper-based medical record tucked away in my drawer at home. Half of which hasn't documented my MRSA journey in South Africa. To make it worse, I moved to the UK & the @NHS has no clue, unless I speak up. Surveillance does need patient input & a complete #EHR

How do we know what to fight if #surveillance is insufficient? The data says we have done really well, but in comparison to the gaps? We have a lot of work to do. How far do you think we have gone with this objective? What do you think of our #Assessment ? #PAR

You can't fight what you can't see. Dr Sushma Krishna is making sepsis and antibiotic resistance, which would have otherwise gone undocumented, visible by building a data repository with her grant. Why do you think #AMRSurveillance is important? Tell us in the comments.

The role IPC plays in preventing #AMR cannot be overstated. This is why it is included in the Global Action Plan, but how have we fared so far? Our assessment says we have a long way to go. We'd like to hear your thoughts. #IPC #GlobalActionPlan #WASH

Did you know that bacteria can transfer resistant genes to others, thereby contributing to the rise in #AntibioticResistance? @MotherOfPhage is a 2025 grantee whose project is focused on limiting this transfer using bacteriophages What do you think of this project?

What #AfricanCountry ? How are they combating #AMR? Get all the inside scoop here: mailchi.mp/preventantibio… Can you guess the country in the comments below? We'll be in the comments. #JuneNewsletter

@ResResistance @AmrInsights @theAMRnarrative @amr_initiative @AMRWISE360 @UYCAS256 Research should focus on preventing infections before antibiotics become necessary. Priorities include rapid diagnostics, vaccination, infection prevention, One Health surveillance, and alternative to antibiotics such as probiotics and bacteriophage.Strengthening public awareness

Still on #PreventiveCare, education drives prevention. We will be spotlighting our 2025 grantee projects. First on the list is Dr Jennifer Le's project on training healthcare professionals on metallo-beta-lactamase resistance. Stay tuned for this year's grantees.

🇷🇼 Happy 64th Independence Day, Rwanda! Today, we celebrate 64 years of independence, resilience, unity,& remarkable progress. As we honor our nation's journey, AMR Initiative Rwanda reaffirms its commitment to building a healthier future through the fight against #AMR in 🇷🇼

There is a reason why our grant is focused on prevention, and this is why. What preventive strategies do you think research should be focused on right now? We will be in the comments. #AMRPrevention #AntibioticResistance

What better way to close out the week than by testing your knowledge on #AMR prevention? Proper hand hygiene is said to reduce infection by 50%, so which of these would hand hygiene not really be affected by? We'll be in the comments with your answers. #Quiz #AMR

@AfricaCDC @ASLM_News @DigitalEU @AmrInsights mailchi.mp/preventantibio… Have you subscribed?👀

What did you miss? A whole lot but first, did you know @AfricaCDC , @ASLM_News and the @DigitalEU launched a 4-year project to improve AMR surveillance and strengthen microbiology laboratory systems across Africa? No? Subscribe now to get inside scoop in the #AMR advancement👇

@UsuccessA Glad you took the pledge! Tag others who should do the same.

I, pledge to stop giving #bacteria the power to wax stronger against #Antibiotics I promise to see a doctor before using any antibiotics, finish my dose, and not share my prescription with anyone, not even my family members. "....and not share my prescription" Very important!!!

Tag someone who should take this pledge this week.

Let's begin this week with a #pledge I, pledge to stop giving #bacteria the power to wax stronger against #Antibiotics I promise to see a doctor before using any antibiotics, finish my dose, and not share my prescription with anyone, not even my family members. #NewWeek

You caught a cold overnight. Your roommate offered you some leftover antibiotics for you to 'feel better'. What do you do?

@VCarterAMR @AmrInsights @amr_initiative @UYCAS256 @AMResistance We totally agree!

@ResResistance @AmrInsights @amr_initiative @UYCAS256 @AMResistance AMR awareness goals aren't even be realised in HICs. Lack of funding for awareness initiatives and community outreach is a part of the problem.

How far have we gone with awareness and communication on #AntimicrobialResistance? This is the first objective on the global action plan and this is our assessment. What do you think? Fair? Let us know in the comments. #Goal1 #IncreaseinAwareness #WAAW2026
