Really enjoyed Journal Club today about the economics and practicalities of disinfecting shared medical equipment. Loads of great audience questions! Recording here: youtu.be/xRUU8wC_zPA

Really looking forward to this one with @juderobinson5. So much to talk about. So many opportunities to involve patients in hand hygiene: challenge, audit, communications, applied research, and more…

An important call is emerging from scientists, physicians, and patients to add C. difficile to the WHO priority list.....@ECDC_EU @rivm @NVMM_NL @EurFmt thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/…

Drug-resistant infections know no borders 💊 That’s why tomorrow, a UN High-Level Meeting will take place to address the global issue of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR). Explore the latest research 🧵

I am here in New York for the UN High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance. The message is clear: save antibiotics, save lives.

New data released today in @TheLancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050. Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Unveiling plasmid diversity in nature nature.com/articles/s4157… This Genome Watch discuses metagenomic surveys that have revealed the extensive prevalence and diversity of plasmids in the human gut microbiome, and the challenges in reporting plasmid genomes from metagenomic data.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in the global community. A Review in @TheLancetInfDis aims to achieve consensus on a reference standard for UTI and increase consistency between studies: hubs.li/Q02MJSbw0

Save the date! The ever-popular two-day virtual conference jointly organised by BSAC and @gardp_amr is taking place on 4-5 February 2025, with Fiocruz and Cepid Aries as collaborating organisations. The outline programme and abstract submission details are now available. acc-conference.com

@kallmemeg Congrats Meaghan, good luck with the PH training programme

I will still be around here 🐥though I’m less active nowadays. But if I have anything I think is interesting or useful I will share with you all as I’ve always done. And I don’t gatekeep so if you have questions about PH training, my DMs are open! ✨ Onward and upward ✨

But above all of the experiences, opportunities, and achievements, What made me love my job was the people. Working in government public health agency attracts a certain type of person, who truly care about their job and doing it well.

Thanks for this French-Dutch-USA collaboration! FMT doesn't eradicate antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria, but changes the gut microbiome and possibly reduces infections. @EurFmt @SmitsLab @jvanprehn @GMFHx @HostMicrobeLit sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
