It’s World #AMR Awareness Week.

Did you know misusing antibiotics leads to drug resistance and side effects?

"Too often #AMR is framed as an immense although conceptually simple challenge: delay resistance to current drugs and produce new drugs. But we need to go beyond this, we need to pull every lever at our disposal to minimise infection even before we turn to drugs."

AMR is more complicated than a lack of drugs
Later this month (Nov 18–24) is World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), the annual reminder of this long smouldering crisis in modern health care. This is the first year with the new name as it was formerly ...

🧪🦠🖥️🧬🧫🔬 The Roadmap for equitable use of public microbiome data -including the Data Reuse Information Tag (DRI)- by the #DataReuseConsortium.
Must read if you use or produce microbiome data!

Kudos to the Data Reuse Core Team for their hard work!

Nice paper on the temporal dynamics of early infancy. Once again, it was shown that Escherichia & Klebsiella correlate with higher ARG load, and their abundance is in turn negatively associated with Bifidos. Kudos to the authors for the excellent paper!

🍼 Antibiotic resistance starts early

A study of infant gut bacteria found antibiotic resistance genes appear within the first week of life, peaking at 6 months.

Thrilled to share our #Comment in @natmicrobiol.nature.com
A collaborative effort by a fantastic group of researchers across disciplines!

💬We explored how interdisciplinary microbiology can thrive when early-career researchers are included and supported.

Soil is the most diverse microbial ecosystem, which makes microbiome studies with shotgun sequencing extremely tricky!
In our last paper @imetascience.bsky.social, we show that co-assembly increases gene and genome recovery

@theipcinfo.bsky.social warns: the worst-case scenario of #famine is unfolding in #Gaza.

Mass starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.

@who.int calls for urgent access for food and medical aid into Gaza at scale.

Ceasefire.
