It is time for the dental profession to take a more active role in national action plans against #AMR and to engage systematically in antibiotic stewardship. AMR is a shared challenge that requires dentistry to make a clear contribution to stewardship efforts.

Bridging surveillance, risk assessment, and intervention will require closer integration of research, public health, and environmental governance under the One Health framework.
Hospital effluent contains ARGs after wastewater treatment. The EC has decided that #AMR wastewater surveillance should be implemented, but we still don’t know which genes matter most, who should lead surveillance, or which interventions should follow.

Antibiotic use in Australia is lower than a decade ago, and hospitals use last-line antibiotics carefully. However, rising #AMR and inconsistent prescribing, especially after surgery and in geriatrics, highlight the need to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship.

Vaccines are powerful tools against #AMR. By preventing infections, they reduce antibiotic use and slow the spread of resistant microbes. Expanding global access to effective vaccines is essential to preserving the antibiotics we depend on.

US sales of medically important antibiotics for farm animals rose 16% 2023-24. When regulatory agencies & public health guidance are being weakened, expecting the tighter controls needed to curb the trend feels more like wishful thinking than policy

Of course it makes this worse that Epstein was a sex offender. But the documents expose something more basic: a lack of judgment among people in positions of trust.
Accepting lavish gifts (like stays on a private island) is compromising in itself, regardless of who offers them.
The EU and India have finalised a trade deal to deepen economic and strategic ties amid rising global protectionism and pressure from the US. "The mother of all trade deals” cover economies that represent about a quarter of global GDP and one-third of global trade.

Pune, India: Officials report a decline in drug-resistant #tuberculosis, but clinicians caution that antibiotic misuse and harder-to-detect #TB may mean the problem isn’t fully visible yet.

India’s proposal for a blue strip on antimicrobial labels is a welcome step against #AMR. Every policy that raises awareness and supports responsible use matters, especially when combined with stewardship, enforcement, and education. #PublicHealth

If you are correct, Victoria, I must apologize.
Given the Bolivar reference, I was under the impression she handed Trump the medal, as the award is non-transferrable.
Machado may be eager to get something from Trump, for example that she wants to continue to play a role in a democratization of Venezuela.
Thus, better reason to suck up than most leaders in the world and most politicians in congress?
Nobel Peace Center & @NobelPeaceOslo The #NobelPeacePrize medal. It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other's shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years. Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well-known case is Dmitry Muratov's medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine. And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway's first Peace Prize laureate. But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: "Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time." A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.
Yes, I just posted their statement.

A bit of perspective: Nobel medals have been sold before. In 2022, Dmitry Muratov auctioned his 2021 Peace Prize medal for $103.5M to help Ukrainian children, and in 2014 James D. Watson sold his 1962 Nobel medal for $4.1M at Christie’s, both via auction.
