Sepsis may require urgent treatment before the exact infection source or most effective antibiotic is known.
Dr. Vance Fowler explains why timely treatment matters when critical information is incomplete.

Fight #AMR before antibiotics are needed.
Handwashing with soap helps prevent infections and slow the spread of drug-resistant germs. Fewer infections can mean fewer antibiotics, protecting them for when we need them most.
Start with clean hands.
#GlobalHandwashingDay #AMR
Infections need a source, a susceptible person & a way to spread. The good news? Breaking one link can help stop the spread!
Wash hands, cover coughs and sneezes, and clean high-touch surfaces. Preventing infections helps fight antimicrobial resistance.

When neonatal sepsis is caused by drug-resistant infections, treatment options can become limited.
Seamus O’Brien of GARDP discusses the need for effective antibiotics for newborns.

Why is #AMR missing from global security conversations?
Conflict, #ClimateChange, pandemics, migration, and economic disruption are often discussed as global security risks. AMR belongs in that conversation too.
Climate pressures, displacement, overcrowding, and global travel can move #ResistantInfections across communities and borders.
That makes #AMR harder to contain and easier to overlook as a security threat.
AMR is not only a health challenge.
It is also a global security issue that needs greater attention, dialogue, and action.

Dr. Carl Flatley has spent years advancing sepsis awareness & earlier recognition.
As founder of @SepsisAlliance, he highlights why timely care and effective antimicrobials matter, especially as resistant infections complicate treatment.

Where a child is born can shape their chances of surviving sepsis.
About 85% of sepsis cases and related deaths occur in low-resource settings. Nearly half of all estimated cases are in children under 5. 🧵
Equity in sepsis care means every child can get the right diagnosis and treatment at the right time, wherever they are born.
Protecting children from sepsis also means tackling AMR.
Every child deserves a fair chance to survive sepsis.
Share this thread to help make fair sepsis care and action on AMR a priority.

#PediatricSepsis can be hard to recognize, especially when health-system gaps delay diagnosis and care.
Stronger diagnostics, lab capacity, clinical training, and clear care pathways can support earlier treatment, responsible antimicrobial use, and the fight against #AMR.
Speed is only part of good sepsis care. Diagnostic tests can help identify the cause of infection and guide treatment as results come in. This supports urgent care, responsible antibiotic use, and the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
Children need clear sepsis care pathways, reliable diagnostic testing, and access to effective antimicrobials. Know the signs. Act early. Advocate for stronger sepsis care. #PediatricSepsis #SepsisAwareness #AntimicrobialResistance #AMResistanceFighters
Sepsis is a medical emergency, but it can be hard to spot in children. In one US study, about 1 in 12 children later admitted with severe sepsis or septic shock had an earlier emergency visit where sepsis may have been missed.
