Follow Sarah’s journey through chronic UTI, the damage left by long-term, high-dose antibiotic treatment and the impact on her promising teaching career.

In the realm of urinary tract infections (UTIs), there exists a significant gap between medical treatment and patient experiences.

Meet Caroline Sampson, a 60-year-old resident of Bushey, Hertfordshire, whose life took an unexpected turn in March 2016. Little did she know that a routine gynaecological procedure would mark the beginning of an excruciating journey through chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Dionne McFarlane, 26, from Edinburgh Scotland, lives with endometriosis, struggling with this issue for several years and believes that by sharing her journey, she can contribute to the broader conversation on bladder health.

In a world where antibiotic resistance is on the rise, researchers are constantly seeking innovative solutions to combat the ever-evolving landscape of bacterial infections. Dr. Melissa Haines, a leading scientist in the field, has been at the forefront of the journey of developing phage therapy for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) caused by Klebsiella and E. coli.

We shed some light on her groundbreaking work at the Leicester Centre for Phage Research, a beacon of hope in the battle against these formidable bacteria.

While scientific advancements play a crucial role in addressing this issue, behavioral change is equally essential. This is why behaviour change is a key theme in the Fleming Centre Initiative, chaired by Professor Ara Darzi, with the aim of inspiring collective behaviour change and mitigating AMR. Dr. Kate Grailey, a post-doctoral researcher at Imperial College London, is at the forefront of using behavioral science to combat AMR. This exciting piece of work is taking place in collaboration with the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT). In this blog post, we’ll explore the significance of behavioral change in the fight against AMR and Dr. Grailey’s pioneering work in this field.

Antibiotic resistance is at an all-time high, and institutions around the world are racing to find ways to overcome it.

As the world prepares to commemorate the 95th anniversary of Sir Alexander Fleming’s ground-breaking discovery of penicillin on September 28th, we had the privilege of speaking with Sarah Whitlow, a practise nurse in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. Sarah, the proud granddaughter of Sir Alexander Fleming, shared her thoughts on her grandfather’s remarkable contributions to medicine and her determination to continue his legacy.

Our new Patient Support Manager Dee Grant tells us about her priorities for developing Antibiotic Research UK’s Patient Support Service in the coming months

In a recent guest blog interview, we had the privilege of sitting down with Peter Jackson, a seasoned professional in the biopharmaceutical industry. With a passion for innovation and a deep concern about the escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), Peter shared his insights into the critical issue of AMR, its implications, and the creative approaches being taken to combat it.

Catching up with Gemma Lowles in the OPAT & Antimicrobial Support Team based at United Lincolnshire Hospitals.

Emmanuel is a MSc Bioinformatics student at Birkbeck University in London, from SE London who has a passion for making a positive contribution in the life of others through utilising the skillsets he has acquired along the way. Working as a Bank Healthcare Assistant at Greenwich and Lewisham NHS Trust has increased his awareness of how important antibiotic research is when it comes to restoring/improving the quality of each patients’ lifestyle.

Antibiotic Research UK is calling businesses to put antibiotic resistance on their risk register and help protect modern medicine through its newly launched corporate program. Corporate partnerships manager Samia tells us how becoming part of the programme can help businesses improve their social and environmental sustainability.

Viki Rodgers shares her experience of living with an antibiotic resistant infection and her fight with sepsis.

Sarah Chadwick, AMR Programme Manager at NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, and part of the West Yorkshire AMR Warriors, tells us about her own AMR work and personal experience.
