Europe is seeing a surge in the number of cases of sexually transmitted infections. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), this includes gonorrhoea, chlamydia and syphilis.

Cancer care is not possible without antibiotics. #AMR threatens our ability to deliver care - action needed now! Levy CIMAR CARB-X IDSA Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group Kevin Outterson John H. Rex, MD

Our CSO, Pål Rongved, will be at The Nordic AMR Centre Conference 2024! 🚀 Join researchers, PhDs, and postdocs from Nordic AMR Centers for insightful lectures, engaging posters, and invaluable networking. Don't miss out on connecting with experts! 🤝🌐 #AMR #antibiotics

Our scientists have been fighting childhood diseases since 1939. Here are some legendary campaigns that got the word out about vaccines, saving lives & protecting our communities.

📣BEAM webinars: 1st one proposed by BioAster on the topic: “Novel technologies with an AI-facilitated approach” - Date & Time: March 21st, 13:00-14:00 CET - Registration here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

As AI transforms the life sciences, the role of accessible training is more important than ever. Sameer Velankar explains why training for AI tools is crucial & unveils a free #AlphaFold training course co-developed by EMBL-EBI & Google DeepMind. embl.org/news/science/s…

In addition to being a health threat, #AMR is an economic burden. Like Momipal, many people recovering from drug-resistant infections suffer financially. Protect our future. #PowerOfAntibiotics 👇 powerofantibiotics.org

And… it’s ON! Starting our first #NordicAMRConference, hosted by CANS - Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies in beautiful Tromsø! Wide representation of 8 #AMR research centers, with a great array of topics to explore. Let’s get up to speed on everything going on in 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇫🇮 on #antibiotics & #resistance

Very insightful keynote by Benjamin Howden to start off the clinical AMR & Diagnostics session, presenting results of his work understanding the genomics of resistance and adaptation. These understandings can improve our clinical practices and interventions #NordicAMRConference

🔬💊 New findings challenge old beliefs on #antibiotic courses. Completing full regimens may not always be best. Stay informed for healthier outcomes. #AntibioticAwareness #Healthcare

Great news! 🤩 For the first time, World Health Organization (WHO) has granted Prequalification (PQ) status to an antibiotic to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. extranet.who.int/prequal/news/f… Congratulations to our partner @Shionogi_JP and WHO on this step! 👏

Day 2 of the #NordicAMRConference starts looking at the environment by the hands of Joakim Larsson from CARe What roles might it play in #AMR? ➡️serve as a transmission route 🧬being a evolutionary arena 💩reflect resistance levels in the region nature.com/articles/s4157…

Continuing with Marit Hetland and her #OneHealth work looking into the ecology and genomics of a big dataset of Klebsiellas from human, animal and marine samples. An exploration of diversity, spill-over and adaptation across niches. #NordicAMRConference

Can we find links between environmental samples and clinical ones? Enrique Joffre, PhD presents the work done in Bolivia, finding evidence of the local river being a potential reservoir for enterotoxigenic E.coli. Clean water💧should be a priority worldwide! #NordicAMRConference

In Tromsø for the #NordicAMRConference very nice organized by the hosts CANS - Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies and a beautiful location Happy to be here with the Uppsala Antibiotic Center team

How to best assess #AMR in the environment? Marcus Wenne from Johan BengtssonPalme’s group presents their work looking into if the outputs of different methods (culture, qPCR, metagenomics) correlate and how. Which method is used should be carefully considered. #NordicAMRConference

🔬 In February, the ICARS Science Team visited Georgia to meet two of the ICARS-supported project teams and engage with national stakeholders. 📈 Interest in scale-up was expressed following one of the projects' promising initial results. Learn more ➡ bit.ly/49R9ipU

Full and lively poster session at the #NordicAMRConference. Great selection of projects, approaches, goals. So great to see many enthusiastic and young researchers sharing their work in the most visual way ever!

March 15 is International #LongCOVID Awareness Day. Long COVID remains a serious public health concern and has affected millions across the U.S. Read the HHS report on CDC and federal partners’ progress to improve our understanding of Long COVID: bit.ly/3TDkAZf

"Stewardship can limit unnecessary #antibiotic use and reduce the risk of related adverse events, improving patient outcomes, limiting the development of resistance, and resulting in cost savings," researchers write. @JenniferCohn2 Marc Mendelson thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
