As @dianeshadersmth powerfully reminds us, 'antimicrobial resistance is fixable, and every month this goes by without a solution means more patients die.'
The science is there, but we all have a role in ensuring that it reaches the patients that need it most.

It was pleasure to attend the Atlanta show of @ThatMould earlier this week. This production is another powerful example of what's possible when public health and the arts join forces!
Thanks to @CDCFound for helping us bring @ThatMould to #Atlanta. I enjoyed opening the show & the expert panel discussing the critical issue of #AMR.
Special thanks must go to @DrJudyMonroe & @marynmck for all they’ve done to support the UK’s work in this area.
