The iAMResponsible team is a nationwide team of researchers working together with you to find solutions to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Antimicrobial Resistance happens when a 'resistant germ' can no longer be killed by medicines that used to kill it, like antibiotics.

Antibiotic resistance is serious—but awareness is the first step to change. Share your story in Voices Against Resistance this #WAAW2025 & help protect antibiotics for the future.

It's devastating knowing that children are being exposed to lifetime and life-threatening illness once again that could have been avoided with a vaccine.
We can't stop reaching out to the parents of these kids with compassion and out-stretched hands. Every child vaccinated matters!

War leaves scars beyond the battlefield. The Iraq war fueled the spread of antibiotic resistance, a silent crisis that continues long after the dust settled. Read more about the prevalence of #AntibioticResistance in Iraq. t.ly/QX1Mf

This is a great idea for a series! It could be a fun one too where we could ask people to submit short videos of themselves performing the tip!
Thank you!

Have you ever tried those head compression things? I get a lot of headaches and it works better than I feared, but from reading the reviews a lot hangs on your head size, which is like...can't they make a better product?!?

PT2 ...to mean that painkillers could increase resistance. (Tho this would be a risk associated with long-term use of painkillers, since it requires a pretty substantial change to the heavy metals in the body to start seeing affect on resistance).

iAMResponsible @iamresponsible.bsky.social · Sep 2

It's known that higher concentrations of heavy metals tend to increase AMR (b/c metals increase mutation rates). Some painkillers also tend to impact the kidney's ability to remove heavy metals, and the combination is hypothesized, tho to my knowledge not fully vetted...PT1

It was super interesting to learn more about these studies showing common pain relievers, when combined with antibiotics, spreading AMR!

C-diff is definitely something we need to talk about more! Yeah, many bacteria, like staph, hitch a ride into hospitals on people’s skin. I read that during COVID, AMR prevention took a backseat due to staff shortages, which drove up AMR cases. I’ll add C-diff to our list of topics to cover!

iAMResponsible @iamresponsible.bsky.social · Sep 2

One of our team members noted avian & swine flu get more attention because of their economic impact. Other diseases don’t carry the same weight. But with AMR, that could change. The pathways for zoonotic diseases (animal waste, handling) remain the same, yet the danger of those diseases is greater.

iAMResponsible @iamresponsible.bsky.social · Sep 2

Apologies for the late replies! I wanted to give you informed answers so I consulted some other members of our team. 😄
There is definitely not enough info on AMR's impact on zoonotic diseases!

iAMResponsible @iamresponsible.bsky.social · Aug 31

I'm so happy to hear that! That's our goal! 🥳
Is there any particular topic regarding antibiotic resistance that u r interested in learning more about I can focus on this wk? For ex: pets, livestock, the environment (wastewater, crops, wildlife), human health, crisis' like war or climate change, ect

#AntibioticResistance can impact any of us, but we know some folks are more at risk than others. We all have loved ones who fall into one or more of the high-risk categories so let us all stay vigilant in the fight against infections, including #AntimicrobialResistant pathogens. #AMR

Real talk, #AntibioticResistance is getting serious and that means that some common illnesses will be harder to treat. To address the problem the first thing is we need a lot more people to know there is a problem - so tell everyone you know: #AMR is serious.
