Antimicrobial resistance #AMR @antimicrobial.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
​The World Health Assembly has officially adopted the new 10-year Global Action Plan on AMR (GAP-AMR 2026–2036). A crucial decade-long framework uniting human health, agriculture, and environment to secure national financing and curb the global #AMR crisis. nation.africa/kenya/health...

New 10 year global action plan adopted to fight drug resistant infections
1.14 million deaths in 2021. 39 million projected by 2050. The world finally has a 10 year plan to stop antimicrobial resistance. But will countries deliver?

#AMR #Klebsiella cause >100,000 neonatal deaths globally each year. Our new preprint shows more than half of #Klebsiella pneumoniae neonatal sepsis cases in African and South Asian are nosocomial, acquired through transmission in neonatal units. #WAAW doi.org/10.1101/2025...
figure showing estimated proportion of cases in clusters, for each site. range from 0.04 to 0.93, mean estimate in random effects model is 0.57 [0.46,0.68]
