    Ep 59: Vance Fowler & the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group. Pipeline for studying AMR in pig farms. Commentary on public involvement.

    Welcome to a new episode of The AMR Studio! This month, we bring you an interview with MD Dr. Vance Fowler, co-lead of the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group (a.k.a. ARLG). In our chat, we learn how Dr. Fowler came into AMR, the decades-long work they’ve been doing with MRSA research, and the ins and outs of the ARLG. In the news section, we proudly present the recent published paper by our PhD student Valeriia Ladyhina, who has worked on optimizing a pipeline to ease the work to study AMR dynamics in pig farms. We also cover a recent commentary on public involvement for AMR, and an AMR journal collection. Thank you for being with us one more month! Check relevant links in the show notes here .

    Ep 58: Evangelos Mourkas, campylobacter & urbanization. Probiotics & AMR. Plasmid-chromosome cross-talk.

    Welcome to 2025! We are so happy to be starting one more year with you, our 8th year! On this episode, we bring you the story and work of Dr. Evangelos Mourkas, a veterinarian-turned-computational biologist who loves to also do the field work himself! In this interview, we dive deep into his motivators, reflections, and how campylobacter can be used as a marker for AMR spread. On the news section, we bring you a recent paper looking into the potential risks of probiotics through the lens of AMR, and the latest publication by a previous guest, Alvaro San Millán, exploring the cross-talk between plasmids and the carrier’s chromosome. We hope you enjoy this month’s content and are ready to share an awesome 2025 of learning and exploring new themes! Check relevant links in the show notes here.

    Ep 57: Olivier Rubin & AMR governance. November update. Rifaximin & daptomycin cross-resistance.

    Hitting this November month with a very relevant topic, Global Governance! In this episode, you can listen to an interview with had with Prof. Olivier Rubin, from Roskilde University in Denmark, about the social dimensions of AMR, and how AMR is a so-called “creeping crisis” globally. Olivier has years of experience researching slow-onset crisis such as famine and climate change, and has in the recent years worked intensively in AMR and the similarities and differences with such crises. Tune in to hear his insights! In the news section, we update you on our very very busy month of November, and bring you a really important paper demonstrating the relationship between rifaximin use and daptomicin resistance in Enterococcus.

    Ep 56: Eva Krockow, a psychologist in AMR. Chat GPT as a diagnostic tool. Metaphors in the AMR discourse.

    We are finally back from our looooong break! Welcome, to another episode of The AMR studio, now again with co-host Elin Fermer at the mic after her maternity break. We are so thrilled to bring you our conversation with Eva Krockow, a psychologist working with decision making, risk communications, and language. We learn about her interests and path, and what’s on the pipeline for her. On the news, we bring you a recent article looking at if the new generation of large language models AI tools such as chat-GPT could be useful to identify resistance, and the most recent pre-print by our interviewee on the use of metaphors in AMR. We hope you enjoy and are ready for an autumn of goodness, learning and fun at our studio!

    Ep X12: Catching up with friends at ESCMID Global 2024

    Coming to your right live from ESCMID Global 2024! Last month, the we participated in the most massive conference ever, ESCMID Global (previously known as ECCMID) in beautiful Barcelona, this year counting with 18.000 registered attendees (yes, you read that right!). We took the opportunity to sit down to catch a breath, and catch up, with some friends and colleagues whom we have not seem for a while! Listen to the updates from Andrea Caputo Svensson, Marius Linkevicius, Po-Cheng Tang & Christer Malmberg, as we talk about health policy, public health, industry vs. academia, the road from prototype to bedside, and much more! We hope you enjoy. Check relevant links in the show notes at https://www.uu.se/en/centre/uppsala-antibiotic-center/communication/the-amr-studio/episode-x12.

    Ep 55: Alberto Antonelli & testing diagnostics. Failed AMR language. Resistance begets resistance.

    Welcome to April dear listeners! In this episode, we bring you an interview with Dr. Alberto Antonelli, researcher at the University of Florence doing a very important job: taking care of testing and optimizing new diagnostic technologies in high AMR-impacted settings such as Italy. Tune in to listen his path to his research field, the challenges he faces and what we should be looking forward to in the future. In the news section, we first cover a recent comment article by Otto Cars and Matti Karvanen presenting why the current way we talk and communicate about resistance is blocking global action, and a recent research article published by the group of our center’s director, investigating the mysterious, and sometimes fleeting, fitness of plasmids in different hosts. We hope you have a great time with us! Check relevant links in the show notes at http://www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode55.

    Ep 54: Suzanne Ruhe-van der Werff & surveillance. A preorganized antibiotic. Engineering probiotics.

    After a short hiatus, we are back with our regular episodes, and with a pop-up guest co-host! Tune in to our first of 2024, where we learn about surveillance and use of health data for its automation with Suzanne Ruhe-van der Werff, research specialist at Karolinska Institutet. In this interview, we learn about Suzanne’s path from parasitology to infection prevention and control and talk about the future of infectious diseases and resistance surveillance through her current research, which looks into using artificial intelligence and algorithms that use patient health records. In the news, we bring you two research articles, the first presenting the results of a preorganized antibiotic design to overcome resistance due to the way it binds to the ribosome, and the second looking into the mechanisms of species-species interaction between a probiotic and a pathogenic bacteria and how this knowledge led to an engineered probiotic better at preventing pathogen defenses. We hope you enjoy this episode! Check relevant links in the show notes at http://www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode54.

    Ep X11: Community Engagement in AMR.

    How can we prevent antibiotic resistance together? For this World AMR Awareness Week 2023, we focus on this togetherness by highlighting Community Engagement in AMR, with 8 guests bringing us their perspectives on what communities and community engagement are, how community engagement can be essential on the road to mitigate the effects of resistance globally, and what they hope happens in this area in the short future. We truly believe that meaningfully engaging communities and civil society actors in this field is an essential part in mitigating the effects of resistance worldwide, and that together we can make an impact. Because the community is all of us, the community is all of you. Happy WAAW23!
