A great first day at #ECCMID24 yesterday! Today some of the Antimicrobial Resistance Research Team | CNPI #ADILA work is on show in the 12pm poster session (Shrey Mathur P2646, Aislinn Cook P2664, Nam Nguyen Vinh P2739), as well as talks by Aislinn in Arena 3 at 415pm and Mike Thorn in Hall D at 530pm

Very high use of abx and frequent use of 2nd line abx for empiric treatment of common infections were not associated with reduction in GP reconsultations. Great poster from Nam Nguyen Vinh. #ESCMIDGlobal2024 #ADILA

National treatment guidelines vary greatly in antibiotic choice and duration. Poster by Giovanni Autore and Shrey Mathur (P2646) #ESCMIDGlobal2024 #ADILA

New primary care antibiotic point prevalence survey. Interesting data presented by Aislinn Cook (P2664). #ESCMIDGlobal2024 #ADILA

Targets for antibiotic use will need to be tailored to local context. Important research presented by Aislinn Cook (E0714). #ESCMIDGlobal2024 #ADILA #AWaRe

Database guru Mike Thorn explaining how to improve calculation of AMU using DDDs. #ESCMIDGlobal2024 #ADILA

Great to hear an update from Teresa Wozniak #CSIRO on the capabilities of the Australian #HOTspots AMR surveillance system. #ESCMIDGlobal2024

And the final presentation of #ADILA work at #ESCMIDGlobal2024 will be at 11am in Arena 3 today (E1285). A collaborative project with Global-PPS estimating oral AMU in primary care vs hospitals (presented by Ines Pauwels).
