"Investing in antibiotic innovation is not only a health priority but a strategic necessity to enhance Europe’s defence readiness," writes CEO Henry Skinner in a new op-ed focused on the rise of #AMR on the battlefields of #Ukraine. www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/russia-ukrai... #WAAW2025

"Antibiotics were so transformative that within a generation we collectively forgot how devastating bacterial infections were for those who came before us," AMR Action Fund CEO Henry Skinner explained. #AMR #WAAW2025 via @contagionlive.bsky.social www.contagionlive.com/view/world-a...

For #WAAW2025 we’re exploring how #AMR intersects with the defining challenges of our time, including #cancer.

#AMR poses an increasing threat to #rural communities in the U.S.

Our new white paper explores how workforce shortages, environmental exposures, and limited access to diagnostics and antibiotics, are amplifying infection risks across rural communities. www.amractionfund.com/blog/white-p...

A new @who.int report finds that 1 in 6 lab-confirmed bacterial infections in 2023 were resistant to antibiotics. E. coli and K. pneumoniae are the leading drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria found in bloodstream infections. www.who.int/news/item/13... #AMR

For people with #cancer, infections have long been a scourge. The rise of #AMR is rapidly undermining cancer care, with studies showing that AMR rates for key pathogens are 1.2-5x greater in isolates from cancer outpatients vs non-cancer patients. antimicrobialresistancefighters.org/cancer-and-a...

The @who.int released its new antibacterial pipeline analysis today and the findings are once again cause for concern. Total # of clinical-stage assets is down and only 11 agents are in development for critical priority pathogens. Read the full report www.statnews.com/wp-content/u... #AMR
