Excited to share the EDAR8 Promo Video: vimeo.com/1098388166?fe=sh&f… The EDAR Conference is a cornerstone and one of the most foundational to CIP-CAR's mission. Many of our students presented last year—special shoutout to Luke for bringing home Top Presenter.
Did you know?
Wastewater can be an early warning system for AMR outbreaks—days before patients hit the hospital. #WBE #AMRsurveillance
Did you know?
Over 2.8 million AMR infections occur in the U.S. each year. That’s one infection every 11 seconds. #AMR #PublicHealth #TeamScience
New from CIP-CAR alum Dr. Amanda Darling!
This ES&T study dives into how different normalization methods impact #WastewaterSurveillance in rural sewersheds—key insights for #PublicHealth & #WBE.

Polarities are everywhere—once you see them...
In Polarities: Recent Reckonings, Gemma Jiang, PhD explores tensions in team science:
boundaries::connections, grace::discipline, commitment::compliance.

The 9th round of the AMR Country Self-assessment Survey launched on 15 Apr 2025, for completion by June 2025. A key tool since 2017, TrACSS helps countries track progress on AMR national action plans.

Beyond health impacts, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major economic threat. The World Bank warns AMR could cost an extra $1T in healthcare by 2030 and up to $3.4T in GDP losses/year by 2050.

The Power of Diagnostics in Combating AMR
At Criticare 2025, experts stressed: skipping diagnostic tests drives antibiotic resistance. By 2050, AMR could cause over 50% of global deaths. Accurate diagnosis matters.

Correction: The link in our last post about diagnostic tests and AMR was incorrect.
Here’s the correct article from Criticare 2025 via Times of India:
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…
#AMR #AntibioticResistance #Criticare2025
The WHO reports that the antibiotics most responsible for drug resistance are being overused globally, highlighting the urgent need for better stewardship.

Our recent study demonstrates how profiling microbiomes can serve as a high precision tool for assessing water quality and tailoring it to drinking water or other reuse applications| Environmental Science & Technology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… @emilydgarner

In case you missed it:
"Transmission routes of antibiotic resistant bacteria: a systematic review"
Perfect for confidently stating we don't know very much about transmission risk.

Happy to share our latest paper led by @ishi_keenum examining how advanced water reuse treatments alter ARG signals beyond that achieved through traditional wastewater treatment- we need to pay attention to distribution systems! @VTcombatAMR sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Last few days to apply for this PhD project!!!!
"An e-DNA probe to enable microbial source apportionment from environmental samples."
Want to conduct an exciting multidisciplinary PhD project to provide a method for rapid source attribution of contaminating bacteria in waterways?
