  1. 1 DAY AGO

    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!

    Ep 53: Álvaro San Millán & plasmids. AMR terminology. Co-designing AMR solutions with communities.

    Welcome to November! In this episode, we bring you the work of Álvaro San Millán, group leader at the National Center for Biotechnology in Spain, where he researches the role of plasmids in antibiotic resistance. In this interview, among other things, we talk about how understanding plasmid biology can lead to new ways of tackling resistance, and learn about his impressions of being a young group leader and setting up a multidisciplinary team. In the news section, we are being very “communicative” this month, first covering a recent study looking at 6 different terms used in AMR communications in terms of being able to evoque risk and being remembered, and a paper published by CE4AMR, where they share their insights on what to include while co-creating solutions with communities, and why. 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/episode53 .

    Ep 52: Jakob Altgärde, an ID physician. Antibiotic combinations for gram positives. The Antibiocene.

    Welcome to a new episode, albeit the slight delay! Tune in this October to listen to Elin’s first interview ever! She had the chance to sit down and talk to Jakob Altgärde, infectious diseases physician with experience in hospital work around infections and resistance in both Sweden and Nepal. With him, we learn how an ID physician works day-to-day, and the main differences between Sweden and Nepal when it comes to his work and AMR. In the news section, we first talk about a recent massive high-throughput screening done for drug combinations on gram positives (Bacillus, Staphylococcus & Streptococcus), and a thought piece by Claas Kirchhelle presenting the idea of the Antibiocene, a new geological era where AMR is the main signal of the phenotypic and genotypic changes that our microbial commons have suffered due to our relationship with antimicrobials. We hope you enjoy this hour with us! *Note: at minute 15:27 “World Bank” is heard as “world-bike”. Check relevant links in the show notes at http://www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode52 .
