Emerging Zoonoses and AMR – a view from Twitter
Posted on July 9, 2018 by Ellen Hinkley
The Emerging Zoonoses and AMR Focused Meeting took place on 2 July at the University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine in Guildford. We’ve turned to Twitter to look at some of the highlights of the event.
In the days leading up to the event, those attending looked forward to presenting, hearing about and discussing new research.
Looking forward to speaking @MicrobioSoc focus meeting on Emerging #Zoonoses and #AMR tomorrow #EZAMR18 - What drives the emergence of new dominant clones of #Salmonella and how they evolve during epidemic

And on the day, the talks didn't disappoint.
Enjoying the truly impressive range of research contributing to the fight against antimicrobial resistance at Focused Meeting on emerging zoonoses #EZAMR18 @MicrobioSoc

Even when they caused a little concern...
Mildly concerned by the amount of ESBLs I might be exposed to during long distance swimming #EZAMR18

There was a chance to get out and enjoy the sun for a group photo before lunch...
Sun’s shining in #Surrey at #EZAMR18. Picture time and lunch before heading back to hear the #offeredpapers. Join us at 2pm to hear about @WestwayHealth’s #innovative #antimicrobial #technology https://t.co/jaN4vgurdS

...which also provided time to view and discuss the 16 posters on display.
It was great to take part in the #EZAMR18 poster session today @MicrobioSoc @CUBiosciences @MResBIOSI @UniOfSurrey pic.twitter.com/9BrWnRdaZS

The afternoon session was kicked off by some excellent offered paper presentations, followed by talks from invited speakers that covered bacteriology, virology and parasitology.
And very proud of our @PHE_uk @LSHTM MSc placement student Lucy Yarnold presenting on AMR STEC and associated risk factors today #EZAMR18 @cunningbyrne pic.twitter.com/0NdIkGPbLu

#EZAMR18 afternoon session; @DrRobKingsley of @TheQuadram on the success of monophasic S. Typhimurium (presence of SGI-4 genetic region involved with copper resistance/homeostasis is a major factor) has a very nice slide on S. Typhimurium genomic diversity! pic.twitter.com/vDW6g5Gwdw
