Global action on AMR. In Feb 2025, Uganda’s Harriet Akello met Till Bachmann @bachmanntill.bsky.social at the AMR Conf. in Switzerland merging frontline insights with global expertise. True progress needs local context and global collaboration. #AMR #GlobalHealth #OneHealth #StopSuperbugs

Now it’s @drneilstone.bsky.social talking about social media and medicine. “Bluesky is the dominant platform now.” He said it. We will get him over to Bluesky for good! 💪🏼😉😁 #ESCMIDGlobal #IDSky #MedSky

Honest reflection: ESCMID 2025 felt quieter online this year—fewer posts, threads, and live updates. Why the shift? – Scattered hashtags – X/Bluesky split – Time zone mismatch – Less live posting – Conference fatigue? Did others notice it too? #ESCMIDGlobal #IDSky

Wonderful talk of @helenzambart.bsky.social on #CRP testing in diagnosing #TB in #Zambia. CRP does not distinguish TB from other infections but may have a value in TB/Lung sceening. Note that #POCT needed to be moved out of high temperature environment. #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social

Testing for #CRP in community pharmacies. Staff stopped using test after initial results all showed that no antibiotic was needed. Thought tests not working and feared loss of Abx revenues. Allowed to charge 1USD and training helped to reverse this. A. Onwunduba #ESCMIDGlobal @escmid.bsky.social

Till Bachmann @bachmanntill.bsky.social · 12/04/2025
Powerful case for point of care testing of #CRP in primary care and #pharmacies to avoid unnecessary #antibiotic use. Sensitisation of healthcare workers and patients is required to ensure uptake. Thi Thuy Nga Do of #OUCRU #POCT #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
