Today we’re highlighting #AMR research in water bodies.
AMR bacteria were detected in the brackish waters of the Greifswald Bodden. We’re deeply grateful to have received the Undine Award 2025 for our #OneHealth work on AMR in aquatic environments! 🌐

What can everyone do to help prevent #AMR? ✅
• Take antibiotics 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and follow the instructions.
• Strengthen 𝐡𝐲𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞 (handwashing, kitchen hygiene, etc.).
• 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 of leftover antibiotics in toilets or drains.
➡ Every small action counts! 🌐

When pharmaceuticals leak into nature, they don’t disappear.

They change animal behaviour, disrupt hormones, enter crops and fuel antimicrobial resistance #AMR.

What harms the environment harms us.

The first Vibrio isolates from the Baltic Sea are now growing on our plates. 🧫
By testing them, we aim to learn more about their characteristics and potential resistance patterns.
Exciting to see the first results taking shape.

We used #genomics, #transcriptomics, and #proteomics to uncover distinctive traits in #Kpneumoniae, offering insights that could support future diagnostics and therapies.

Thanks to all collaborators!

With the Baltic Sea right on our doorstep, we are beginning to investigate Vibrio species, some of which can be relevant opportunistic pathogens. Hopefully, we will gain exciting insights. The first infection this season in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was reported yesterday.

Molecular biology methods are key to our daily wet lab work. They're essential for uncovering mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance, bacterial fitness, and virulence.
Combining these insights lays groundwork for novel strategies to combat #AMR pathogens.

During our stay in Kenya, we had the privilege to work alongside our incredible partners in the heart of the Masai Mara. Surrounded by thousands of cattle, we collected samples to study antimicrobial resistance in this stunning One Health setting.
