Tackling antimicrobial resistance(AMR) together – Sysmex Astrego had the pleasure to host Sweden’s Ambassador on AMR, Malin Grape from the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, together with colleagues from the Government Offices. The group toured the production and R&D facility, meeting the team behind the Longitude Prize winning PA-100 AST System. The £8 million #LongitudePrize on AMR was won by Sysmex Astrego in 2024. The PA-100 AST System will transform the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI) and brings the power of laboratory testing into a doctor’s office allowing healthcare professionals to administer the right antibiotic at the right time.

🌍✨ World Antimicrobial Resistance Week: Educate, Advocate, Act Now ✨🌍 As we observe World AMR Week, it’s crucial to reflect on the growing threat posed by antibiotic misuse. 🌿🔍 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is not just a health sector issue; it’s a global crisis that affects us all. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics can lead to resistance, putting countless lives at risk and undermining decades of medical advancements. 🚨💊 📉 What does this mean for you? Increased Health Risks: Infections that were once easily treatable can turn deadly, resulting in longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality. Impact on Medical Procedures: From surgeries to chemotherapy, the effectiveness of numerous medical interventions is compromised, making them more dangerous. 👩⚕️ Now is the time to act! Educate Yourself: Understand the importance of using antibiotics responsibly. They should only be taken when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Advocate for Change: Speak up about the need for effective policy measures, public awareness, and better practices in healthcare. Act Now: Make a conscious effort to reduce antibiotic misuse in your personal and professional lives. Together, we can combat AMR by spreading awareness and fostering responsible practices. Let’s protect ourselves and future generations. #WorldAMRWeek #AntimicrobialResistance #EducateAdvocateActNow #HealthForAll #GlobalHealth#patientsafety

We’re proud of our involvement with an important news-style programme, Defending our Health: Unravelling Antimicrobial Resistance, launching next week and produced by ITN Business. Hosted by Sharon Thomas from the ITN London Studio, this insightful feature will explore the urgent global threat of antibiotic resistance and include insights from some of the leading voices working hard to combat this issue. Join us next week to hear from industry and clinical experts on the vital work being done to safeguard modern medicine. #AMRAwareness #AntimicrobialResistance
AMR threatens global health, undermining decades of medical progress. Next week we will highlight the pioneering efforts to combat this crisis, with the launch of our programme ‘Defending Our Health; Unravelling Antimicrobial Resistance’, featuring insights from industry experts British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC), AMR Industry Alliance, Antibiotic Research UK, and the work of organisations aimed at preserving our ability to treat infections effectively. Prince William called for urgent action on antimicrobial resistance in May, learn more about the work being done to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in our article: https://lnkd.in/e_pUaiUN #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #GlobalThreat #PrinceOfWales #RoyalFamily The International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS)| bioMérieux | Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research | ReAct - Action on Antibiotic Resistance | Pharmafilter B.V. | Sharon Thomas

“Most GPs write a prescription with the patient in front of them while making a clinical diagnosis. It’s an informed guess backed by local and national guidance. Do they have an infection or not? If so, what is the cause and what antibiotic would be appropriate?” – Dr Nick Brown, Consultant Medical Microbiologist at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust Sysmex Astrego’s PA-100 AST System brings the power of “laboratory testing” into the doctor’s office. Through an innovative diagnostic test, it can identify the presence of a bacterial infection in just 15 minutes and accurately determine the right antibiotic to treat it within 45 minutes at the clinician’s office. Find out more about the PA-100 AST System: https://lnkd.in/ezCsgPQR Thank you to Challenge Works for their support throughout our time on the Longitude Prize. #SysmexAstrego #PA100 #AMRfighter #UrinaryTractInfection #LongitudePrize

As we close this year’s World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, it’s important to remember that AMR is a pressing global and socioeconomic crisis we cannot ignore. The future of antibiotics and medicine relies on the actions we take today and it’s up to all of us to educate, advocate, and act – before it’s too late. Antimicrobial Stewardship Programmes are key to promoting the responsible use of antimicrobials, raising awareness, and educating everyone who uses antibiotics. And advances in healthcare, such as faster AST technologies, are also making a difference by helping doctors find the right treatments sooner and reducing the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. A unified effort is the first step to stopping AMR. Get in touch with us today to find out how ASTar can help you in the hospital and contribute to the fight against AMR. #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #WAAW #sepsis

The fight against antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) is at a critical moment, with limited investment in antibiotic R&D threatening patients' last line of defence. This urgent challenge is the focus of the British Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (#BSAC) Winter Conference 2024: "Infection 2024 – Policy into Practice," which brings together leaders to discuss shaping AMR policy, securing the antibiotic pipeline, and improving patient outcomes. It has been a pleasure working with BSAC over the years, and I am especially grateful for its wider leadership, including the policy development, which is essential for the sustainability of the innovative antibiotic pipeline. As a proud sponsor of this conference, the Shionogi team is excited to attend this important event and contribute to the collective exchange of ideas and expertise. Collaboration across sectors is essential to drive innovation and tackle the global threat of AMR. Through #CollectiveStrength, we can continue to build a future where patients have access to life-saving treatments when they need them most. #Infection2024 #AMRAwareness #AntimicrobialResistance #OneHealth

To mark World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, we are highlighting some of our exciting work aimed at improving treatments for patients and combating antimicrobial resistance. For over two decades, the Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI) group has been using advanced gut models to study how antibiotics interact with the gut microbiome. These models simulate the human gut, helping researchers identify the best treatments and doses to minimise harm to gut microbes. This work has had real-world impact, influencing treatment guidelines, supporting regulatory approvals, and shedding light on how resistance spreads within the gut.
