Low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) face the highest burden of AMR, but our data mostly comes from high-income countries.

DPhil students Saifur Rahman and Amrita Pondit are helping to change this.

They collected bacterial samples in Bangladesh, to help strengthen AMR research in the area.

The IOI and MSF recently examined children being treated at a hospital site in Niger.

They found the children carried high levels of drug resistant bacteria, which could lead to life-threatening infections.

📢Tomorrow is World Sepsis Day!

🌍50 million people are affected by sepsis every year.

💊Antibiotics are the primary treatment for sepsis, but drug resistance makes infections harder to treat.

🧬Addressing sepsis means confronting AMR. These twin public health crises need global action to save lives.
