Between 2018–2023, antibiotic resistance increased in over 40% of the pathogen–antibiotic combinations monitored, with an average annual rise of 5–15%.
Resistance is highest in the WHO South-East Asian & Eastern Mediterranean Regions, where 1 in 3 reported infections were resistant 👉 bit.ly/438Ta1u

As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...

If an infant ingests spores from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, it can cause infant botulism — in older children and adults we’re usually affected by the toxin the bacteria produce, not the spores. That’s why babies under 1 year shouldn’t have honey.

I am fascinated by how viruses evolve - and not just since #SARSCoV2 has shown us at the global stage how consequential virus evolution can be for us.
In my new story in @science.org I got to explore how researchers are probing deeper into the past with old RNA virus genome.
So a 🧪 thread…

"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."
