📢 Incredibly proud of our new Editorial in #FutureMicrobiology 🧬 No Access No Cure – The global crisis of treating XDR carbapenemase-producing organisms

Innovation means little without equitable access to new antimicrobials.

Brilliant presentation at #AMSBelfast2025 on using social media to amplify #AMR messaging 📱💬

Creative communication drives awareness, engagement and behaviour change. Let’s keep the conversation going.

Another fantastic keynote at #AMSBelfast2025 on #ImplementationScience 🔍

Real impact comes from interventions that are acceptable, feasible, faithful and sustainable.

Where #QI meets #IS, turning ideas into lasting change.

Adopt #TMFs early! #AMR #PPI #MicroSky #IDSky

💡 Solutions only become solutions when they’re adopted.

In #AMR research, that means going beyond the lab but involving the public and patients to understand lived experiences, shape priorities, and ensure interventions truly work in practice.

📢 New from our group in J Med Microbiol (@microbiologysociety.org): “The Lingering Legacy of One Letter in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing.”

Clinicians must understand the #SIE concept to avoid unnecessary carbapenem use.

Being an #AccessMicrobiology Editor has been a rewarding experience! From working with wonderful colleagues to engaging with a vibrant world of research and publishing, if you’re passionate about microbiology and want to contribute to the community, this is a fantastic opportunity! 🌍🔬 #MicroSky

Our recently published study in JAC-AMR quantified the environmental impact of unnecessary IV antibiotics. In 2 yrs, prolonged IV use produced 245.8 kg CO₂e + 98.8 kg waste.

Every antimicrobial has two dates: discovery and resistance. The gap is shrinking. Without urgent action, our last lines will fail #AMR #OneHealth #JoinTheResistance #ClinicalMicrobiology

Flucloxacillin has long been the workhorse for MSSA bacteraemia. But SNAP trial data suggest cefazolin or benzylpenicillin may lead to better outcomes. Time to revisit our default? This could be a practice-changing moment. #SNAPtrial #ClinicalMicrobiology #JournalClub

A brilliant #BiggerClub with Beaumont Hospital: from a rare Clade I #Mpox case in Europe to a striking presentation of #WestNileVirus, capped by the “bru-tiful” surprise of #Brucellosis. A timely reminder of the diagnostic challenges posed by travel-related infections #ClinicalMicrobiology #ISCM

#ICATStudyDay continues with powerful insights on #OneHealth — reminding us that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. Collaboration across disciplines isn’t optional; it’s essential for a healthier, more resilient future @ucdvetmed.bsky.social

Insights from #ICATStudyDay highlight that translational success hinges on safety, clinical effectiveness and usability - achievable only through multidisciplinary research and robust clinical engagement #OneHealth @ucdvetmed.bsky.social

Animals help us heal, learn, and evolve. But at what cost? At UCD’s #ICATStudyDay, we reflect on #OneHealth #OneWelfare, and the ethical crossroads of animal research. The science of compassion starts here @ucdvetmed.bsky.social

Shame I couldn't be there this year! Looks very interesting! Would be very much interested in having a chat!

#OwenCooper and #ErinDoherty were absolutely phenomenal in #Adolescence... But #StephenGraham brought the tears and heartbreak... 😭 A harrowing but powerful and recommended watch!

Antibiotic stewardship, data, and uncertainty: A conversation with Brad Spellberg

"If you're going to give antibiotics to people who don't need them, at least do us the courtesy of doing it for a brief period of time." 💊🦠 #ShorterIsBetter #AntimicrobialStewardship

It’s official: The Microbiology Society is on Bluesky!
