🪰Research shows flies can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and that low - & middle- income countries face the heaviest #AMR burden.
🧫At the IOI, research assistant Teresa Iannetelli samples flies from around the world, studying how insects spread resistance genes - and how we can stop them.

It's #OneHealth day!
🌍A One Health approach to tackling global crises helps us understand how humans fit together alongside wildlife and the environment.
🪰At the IOI, our research has found #AMR is no different - plastic waste can increase it's spread, and birds/flies can carry AMR genes.

It's #WorldPhageWeek! (Oct 22-28)
Bacteriophages - viruses that hunt bacteria - are the most abundant organisms on earth.
At the IOI, researchers explore how phage therapy could be a simple, low-cost alternative to antibiotics.
Because in the future fight against AMR, all the world's a phage!🌍

Fast, affordable diagnostic tests could limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR).
They identify bacteria & their resistance levels, so patients get the right antibiotic.
Oxford DPhil student Natasha Salant uses mathematical models to see how these may affect AMR in the UK and Malawi.

🩺October 20th is Clean Hospitals Day - a celebration of hygiene in healthcare & the hospital staff who make it happen.
Bacteria can survive for months on hospital surfaces, and if these bacteria have antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, they pose a serious threat to patients and staff.

The burden of #AMR isn't spread evenly, and we need to strengthen global surveillance in those places hit the hardest by drug-resistant infections.
Antibiotic resistance is more common and worsening in places where health systems are fragile or have limited capacity to diagnose or treat bacterial infections.

Global estimates say that 45 million children under five are severely malnourished.
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.
