📣New BactiVac report now available! Read our workshop report to find out more about the considerations for developing #bacterial #vaccines for #veterinary infections: 👉https://bit.ly/IVISRep @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org #AMR

#AMR is a challenge we face today We urge everyone to turn political commitments into tangible & life-saving actions. Now is the time for policies that drive real change: protecting our present & securing our future #WAAW @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org

🔬Vaccine innovation against #AMR BactiVac's funded 115 projects targeting key AMR-relevant pathogens: #Klebsiella #Ecoli #Salmonella #Shigella #Neisseria, #Pseudomonas #Pneumococcus #Staphylococcus & #Streptococcus #WAAW @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org

How is BactiVac supporting LMICs? 🌱Through catalyst project & training awards, empowering LMICs to lead #vaccine innovation & building capacity. Reducing #AMR starts with equitable access to research opportunities. #WAAW @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org

Why does🌍global collaboration matter? #AMR is a worldwide challenge. BactiVac unites >2,400 members across 92 countries with 52% based in LMICs. 🤝Together we’re accelerating bacterial #vaccine development. #WAAW #AMR @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org

Why do vaccines matter in the fight against #AMR? 💉 #Vaccines prevent infections → fewer antibiotics → slower resistance BactiVac supports global research to develop vaccines against high-burden bacterial pathogens. 🎧 Listen to BactiVac Director sharing his insights: bit.ly/ACHStalk

🌍#AMR is one of the greatest global health threats of our time. At @bactivac.bsky.social, we believe #vaccines are a powerful tool to prevent bacterial infections, reducing antibiotic use. #AMRAwarenessWeek @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org
