Pint of Science Laos happening next week. Come on down to listen to 6 interesting #science talks from scientists based in #Laos #pint24 #pint24la

Research Highlight from @TamaleeRoberts @MORUBKK Accuracy of the direct #AgglutinationTest for diagnosis of #VisceralLeishmaniasis: a systematic review Parasitology is the gold standard but less invasive tests are also available ndm.ac/tropmed.res-hi bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Latest systematic review in @BMCMedicine @BioMedCentral involving FIEBRE @TamaleeRoberts @SuzanneKeddie ⬇️ Accuracy of the direct agglutination test for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis: a systematic review and meta-analysis bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @MORUBKK @TropMedOxford

New paper: “#Diagnostics for #Typhoid Fever: Current Perspectives and Future Outlooks for Product Development and Access,” co-authored by Jyotshna Sapkota, Consultant, @SabineDittrich, former Head of Malaria & Fever Programme, et al. academic.oup.com/ofid/article/1…

Our final talk for #pint23 in #Laos is from Rica Duchateau talking about the use of spatial mapping and health research in Laos #pint23LA

Day 2 of #pint23 has started in #Laos with Erik Delaquis discussing where seeds used in Lao agriculture comes from #pint23LA

Second talk today is on the enigmatic Lao unicorn (the saola) by Chanthasone from Saola Foundation #pint23 #pint23LA #Laos

Pint of Scince Laos is starting tonight! #pint23 #pint23LA

Only 10 days to go! Get ready to join Pint of Science Laos on 22 & 23 May, from 6pm, at Corebeer, for a fantastic night of science and fun! #pint23 #pint23la

Cost-effective model analysis by @cherrylimxq and colleagues showed maintaining an active microbiology lab is cost-saving and can improve patient outcomes and reduce costs #ECCMID2023

Development and investment in functional microbiology LIMS is lacking, with most LIMS expensive with little IT support. #SEDRILIMS are working to develop a free LIMS that can be used in #LMICs and can also help with #AMR surveillance @PaulTurnerMicro #ECCMID23

Representatives from @ACORN_AMR lab teams. Main discussion topics- -high cost of consumables and equipment for LMICs -supply chain issues- usually >6mths for consumables to arrive -short expiry dates for consumables -no maintenance plans in donor agreements -sustainability #AMR

Very successful first day and interesting discussions about the barriers to successful #AMR research. Amazing to finally meet the people we've been working with for the last 3 years. #LOMWRU #ACORN @ACORN_AMR

@ACORN_AMR network meeting has started! Teams from 9 countries and 20 sites are all in Bangkok for 3 days of discussions about their site progress and feedback on any issues. #AMR #LOMWRU #ACORN

Mahosot Hospital and #LOMWRU just finished giving 2 weeks training to provincial microbiology lab staff as part of the Lao PDR #FlemingFund country grant. To help combat #AMR quality surveillance data is needed, which requires trained lab staff and access to low cost consumables

#ScienceReadForSunday: Antimicrobial resistance patterns in bacteria causing febrile illness in Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia: a systematic review of published etiological studies from 1980-2015 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Mahosot Hospital and #LOMWRU are going blue for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2022. Did you know that in 2019 nearly 5 million deaths worldwide were attributed to bacterial #AMR? Use antimicrobials wisely! @WHO @FAO #WAAW2022 #WAAW

New study out showing the activity of the aminoglycoside apramycin against drug resistant GNR blood culture isolates in Southeast Asia @MORUBKK @TropMedOxford sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
