“Diagnostics shouldn’t be a luxury for the wealthy countries alone” A critical resolution to improve access to diagnostics was approved today at #WHA76. This is just the first step, many more to take!

🚀 Liselotte Hardy & Barbara Barbé visited chu yalgado ouédraogo to introduce the SIMBLE study & meet the local team. Grateful for their hospitality & support as we gear up to work towards better adapted diagnostics for bloodstream infections in West Africa! 🔬🩸 tinyurl.com/nht6cvcv

Another Tweetchat on #FoodSafety Day focused on #AMR & the impact on foods we eat! Everyone welcome, incl #PatientAdvocates, #ConsumerAdvocates & professionals working in this field! Co-hosted by @natalievestin from CIDRAP-ASP & myself from The AMR Narrative #theAMRnarrative

The cases of #medicines #promotion, quality of #diagnostics, rational use of #antibiotics, show that access to quality health products depends on multiple determinants; and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Thanks Tropical Bacteriology @ ITM Antwerp Saleh Aljadeeah @[email protected]

Some weeks have passed since this year's AIM course. We asked Jemima Mima who participated and Charlotte Grootaers who coordinated about their experiences. #antibioticstewardship #IPC #surveillance #AMR Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp #IDtwitter labhub.itg.be/looking-back-a…

🦠 The mysterious #Salmonella serovar known as ‘Concord’, causing gastrointestinal and bloodstream infections, is now a bit less mysterious! In our latest paper Nature Communications, we dive into the evolution and #AMR of this pathogen: nature.com/articles/s4146… UAntwerpen Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp
