Combining machine learning and statistical inference to study bacterial genomics A review led by researchers from the IOI and Oxford’s Big Data Institute explains how scientists can better exploit machine learning and statistical inference to make discoveries about infectious

📰New research from IOI Oxford & University of Nottingham: Low antibiotic levels can make E. coli spread resistance genes up to 45 times faster. Read more: https://t.co/GUbpm4p5wI

In 1929, Alexander Fleming published his paper outlining the antibacterial properties of penicillin, and began the era of antibiotics. Read the Nobel Prize laureate's full article online: https://t.co/fPKDufTlbD #OpenAccessWeek

It's #WorldPhageWeek! Phages are bacteria-hunting viruses and are the most abundant organisms on earth. Researchers at the IOI are exploring how phage therapy can be a simple, low-cost alternative to antibiotic drugs. Because in the future fight against #AMR, all the world's

Fast, affordable diagnostic tests can help curb the spread of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR). They help doctors identify bacteria & their resistance levels, ensuring patients get the right antibiotic. Oxford DPhil student Natasha Salant uses mathematical models to see how new

Based on more than 23 million bacteriologically confirmed infections reported by 104 countries, the @WHO's new #AMR surveillance report concluded that approximately 1 in 6 laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections worldwide were caused by bacteria resistant to antibiotics in

🩺October 20th is Clean Hospitals Day - a global celebration of good hygiene in healthcare & the hospital workers who make it happen. Bacteria can survive on hospital surfaces like sinks, medical equipment or furniture for months. If these bacteria have antimicrobial resistance

🎉🎉 We're delighted to be a part of the work happening in this exciting new building, and look forward to utilising these world-class facilities to tackle antimicrobial resistance!

The Life and Mind building is one of the largest projects in the University's history. The £200m facility was developed and funded by Legal & General and delivered through the Oxford University Development partnership. ▶️ Take a look inside: https://t.co/FMegbtXKMR

Antibiotic resistance is more common and worsening in places where health systems are fragile or have limited capacity to diagnose or treat bacterial infections. Investing in diagnostics and equitable access to quality antibiotics is essential. Learn more 👉

Antibiotic resistance is on the rise — and poses a growing threat to global health, new @WHO report warns. Responsible use, stronger surveillance and international cooperation are key to preserving the effectiveness of these life-saving medicines. https://t.co/Jp1bRA36Mj

#AMR is a constantly rising threat, and this WHO report highlights the very real dangers of drug resistant infections worldwide. We're losing our most important antibiotics. New drug discovery and global surveillance of AMR are more important than ever.

IOI DPhil students Amrita Pondit & Saifur Rahman have created a collection of >2,800 bacterial isolates to add to Bangladesh’s national AMR Surveillance dataset. Low- and middle- income countries carry the heaviest share of the #AMR burden. This data helps clinicians choose the

A new article in The Guardian has covered some alarming results, which highlight just how important it is that we strengthen antibiotic resistance (#AMR) surveillance around the world, and keep innovating in the field of drug discovery. https://t.co/qzmj3MC8nf

Last week experts from across the UK and beyond gathered in Oxford for a two-day meeting dedicated to antimicrobial resistance and campylobacter- the most common bacterial cause of diarrhoea. Read about the discussions here: https://t.co/URyPTyjKu3 @sheppard_lab @OxfordBiology

American black bears found to carry foodborne pathogen Researchers at the IOI together with colleagues from the USDA Agricultural Research Service, North Carolina State University, and the University of Arizona, have found genomic evidence that American black bears can carry
