Pilot surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in river catchments in England
A pilot approach to detection, identification and quantification of antimicrobial resistance in three selected river catchments in England.

World #AntimicrobialResistance Awareness Week celebrates the collaborative efforts of human, plant, animal & #environment sectors to tackle #AMR. As part of a cross-governmental research, we piloted the development of national surveillance, see results 👉 www.gov.uk/government/p... #WAAW #OneHealth

More shots from our time on the road filming our Fungal AMR film. Thank you so much for hosting us @thesainsburylab.bsky.social, and everyone who spoke to us about their research! Glad to see that @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social and my efforts to equalise our heights have been immortalised 😅
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Jessica Stacey from @f1amr-network.bsky.social and the Digital Media Lab crew from @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social 🎥
From the lab to the field, our scientists shared their knowledge on fungal and antimicrobial resistance 🦠
Special thanks to the whole crew 🎬

Thrilled to celebrate and share our new paper on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in rivers — a milestone for our team and an exciting step forward for environmental AMR research 🥳🦠 🔬
This work looked at how the source and spread of AMR changes as a river floods. More here👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.sc...
