Disaggregating AMR data by sex, age & other factors is crucial to understanding who is most affected and why. It uncovers inequities and informs effective interventions. With millions at risk, it's urgent to view AMR through an intersectional lens. #PublicHealth #AMR

🦠🌍 Antibiotic resistance differs by gender

A global study of 14,000+ gut samples found women in high-income countries have 9% more antibiotic resistance genes than men.

In lower-income countries, patterns flip – but context matters.

🦠 The hidden threat in manure

A global analysis of 4,000+ livestock samples reveal farms are teeming with antibiotic resistance genes - many with high potential to reach humans. Manure is not just fertiliser, it is a resistome hotspot.
