Thanks @NCDCgov & 🇳🇬's #AMRsurveillance system, without which we'd not've seen this, @GHRUamr consortium & @NIHRglobal for enabling 🇳🇬 to institute genomic surveillance of AMR. Read our #OpenAccess MGen @MicrobioSoc paper & let's know what you think doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.00150… END

I was at the 567th Inaugural Lecture of UI by Prof @iruka_okeke. It wasn't' another theoretical trip into the microbial world, but one guided by experience, excellent research outputs, charting a future in AMR research & celebration of academic excellence. We are proud of you ma

Very thankful that #UNGA24 approved the declaration on #AMR. As I discussed with @IkabaKoyi on ⁦@BBC⁩ #FocusonAfrica last week, the declaration, and action on #AntimicrobialResistance is fundamental to ensuring the health of Africans

Glad to see our genomic data analysis of Listeria monocytogenes from a 2 decade surveillance now in print @GenomeMedicine. We describe the population structure and transmission clusters, including cryptic outbreak clusters that traverse NY counties. [1/2]

Thrilled to share our new paper on Listeria monocytogenes in New York in collaboration with NY Dept Health! Most from blood, CSF. We found diverse lineages, intrinsic & mobile AMR & virulence genes, persistence across geographical & temporal scales @odionikh

Very happy to see this work in print @NatureComms. We used a combination of classical microbiology, whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics tools to describe epidemiology of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae archived as part of routine surveillance form a medical centre. 1/2.

A real pleasure to reconnect with lab alum @odionikh, who presented @SteveBejide poster. Look forward to having @PreventTyphoid vaccines deployed in 🇳🇬 so that we can prevent these infections, contain #AntimicrobialResistance.

Thrilled to have this poster presented by @odionikh on behalf of our @unibadan group @ the ongoing ASM Microbe 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. It's high time Nigeria adopted TCVs for population protection. Many thanks to all partners who made this study possible.

Today, we celebrate Professor @iruka_okeke, a renowned microbiologist known for her groundbreaking research on the pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance of intestinal disease-causing organisms. She is also a fellow of the @AASciences. 1/4

New WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogens List - critical group now down to 3 - CR-Acinetobacter, CRE and 3GC resistant Enterobacterales (Pseudomonas now in "high" group)
💥WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogens List 2024 has been published today💥 One of the aims is to guide R&D for new, effective antibiotic therapies 👏Congratulations to my fantastic team at WHO for this excellent effort to contribute to advance global public health!

Antimicrobial resistance can happen to anyone, anywhere. Even if you're in good health, a minor injury could unexpectedly escalate into a life-threatening situation. A survivor shares her story, urging awareness and action to stop #AMR in its tracks. @WHO #AMRSurvivors
