A sunny bank holiday and our events for the IRFLUVA study, showed us that people over 50 years of age find keeping house plants & gardening helps their well-being. Our research team agree 🌸🌼🌻🌱 #Wellbeing #HealthyAgeing @CardiffUni @CUSystemsImmu @CAVUHB_SLT #SummerVibes2024

Thanks @drkeithsiau for raising awareness of this important health concern. @Spiller_Lab and @IneosOxford we are very focused on #AMR and #ESKAPE pathogen infections as a future global health emergency is brewing 🦠
ESKAPE refers to the 6 bacteria that cause the most deaths from hospital acquired infections across the world. These are highly multi-drug resistant and are often a consequence of antibiotic overuse.

#ICYMI New research from the IOI & @Spiller_Lab found colistin-resistant bacteria in mothers and newborn babies in several hospitals in Nigeria from 2015-2017, despite limited clinical use of colistin at that time. 📽️Watch the video and find out more👉 ineosoxford.ox.ac.uk/news/re…

📽️ WATCH NOW Antibiotics underpin all aspects of modern medicine, but the rising tide of AMR means we are running out of effective drugs. In our new video, we hear from IOI researchers how we are safeguarding our future. Watch here➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=eXTjDzHS…

#DYK Nearly 80% by mass of ALL antibiotics worldwide are used in agriculture. This #OneHealthWednesday, we're exploring how AMR is a threat that crosses boundaries, threatening the health of humans, animals and the environment. #WAAW23

#AntimicrobialResistance is something we all need to be aware of and understand the impact it could have. Help #KeepAntibioticsWorking by only using them when prescribed by a healthcare professional & making sure to finish taking the full course of antibiotics. #WAAW

It's day 4 of #WAAW23, and we're exploring antimicrobial stewardship! We're looking at how and when we use antibiotics - and perhaps more importantly, when not to use them.
