As #JASH2026, #NACNCDC2026 and the 34th UNACOH Annual Conference conclude, the focus must shift from discussion to action. Turning research into policy, strengthening partnerships and advancing integrated healthcare are key to building a healthier Uganda. #UnifiedAction
Antimicrobial resistance is emerging as an important concern in infectious disease management. At #JASH2026, Professor William Borotier presented Ugandan research exploring how antimicrobial resistance genes may help predict severe community-acquired pneumonia. #NACNCDC2026

Findings from the Ugandan study presented by Professor revealed that patients with certain antimicrobial resistance genes had approximately twice the odds of developing severe community-acquired pneumonia. The BioFire platform also detected resistance genes among participants.

Antimicrobial resistance genes are not standalone predictors of severe pneumonia. However, when assessed alongside clinical parameters, they may support better identification of patients at risk. The findings highlight the need for stronger AMR surveillance #JASH2026 #NACNCDC
