My article on chronic UTI infections in today’s Daily Mail Good Health section Most women know what the burning pain of a urinary tract infection (UTI) is like - for many it lasts just a few days, Source: Mail Online search.app/UDrY9mm6mTRYMdwJ9

Being Cornish, it was so encouraging to see a whole building dedicated to microbial life at The Eden Project. What a great whirlwind summary of how humans and microbes both share the planet and how we are vastly outnumbered! Nice to see @AnnaDumitriu 's work there @1Antruk

So true. Well done Diane and Mallory.“Until people understand what’s at stake, they’re not going to care. My daughter died from this. So I care deeply.” Diane Shader-Smith

Last month the government opened an inquiry into the wider use of phage therapy in the UK. Here's a 3 min audio story of a young woman whose life was extended by 3 yrs with phage after antibiotics no longer worked wevideo.com/view/2880713578
Amusing little sketch written and performed Peter Clements. A great talent for seeing things from the bacteria's POV ..youtube.com/watch?v=1Di8EsLG…

Nice to see the very lay-friendly Dr Ranj sharing the 'right drug for the right bug' public message on the BBC Morning Live today (8/07)bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00190l…
🌊 A slippery tale of #AntibioticResistance... After falling by the pool while on holiday, Lorraine endured a year of pain and frustration before her abscess finally cleared up. You can tell your own story here: nquire.org.uk/mission/story-… #AMR #KeepAntibioticsWorking

#AntimicrobialResistance can be a big challenge for doctors trying to treat lung infections associated with #CysticFibrosis. The story below, from the mum of an 8-year-old boy with #CF, shows the impact #AMR can have ⬇️ @cftrust @CFTrustYouth @CFAware @lungspodcast @cf_care
The 8-year-old boy described in this audio recording has cystic fibrosis. He now has a drug-resistant infection. Multiple antibiotics have been tried – each to no avail. If you have a story about #antibioticresistance, please share it here to help others: nquire.org.uk/mission/story-…
In this #TEDx talk, a doctor tells her story of a patient with #AMR. He was young, newly married, had a ski accident and was treated, but died of a drug-resistant infection. This story could be about any of us. It's brilliantly told and very powerful. youtube.com/watch?v=tGtYvQCS…
