Key messages
1. Antimicrobial resistance is a multi-faceted global challenge: The podcast highlights One Health connections, examining AMR’s impact and drivers in human health, animal health, the environment, and food systems.
2. Cross-disciplinary collaborations drive insight and innovation: Through interviews with microbiologists, clinicians, veterinarians, policy-makers, behavioural scientists, and even artists, the show emphasizes that diverse perspectives are essential for understanding and addressing AMR.
3. Evidence, research, and policy matter: The podcast explores cutting-edge topics such as: New drug candidates (e.g., EbsArgent for Pseudomonas); Rapid diagnostics and AI applications
4. Human and patient perspectives are important: Episodes feature patient advocates and content that stresses public involvement in stewardship efforts and how personal stories can strengthen AMR awareness (Ep X11: Community Engagement in AMR).
