Joint position paper from two ESCMID Study Groups on genomic surveillance of pathogens published in Frontiers in Science

The ESCMID Study Groups on Public Health Microbiology (ESGPHM) and Epidemiological Markers (ESGEM) published this article that advocates for mobilising pathogen genomic surveillance to contain and mitigate health threats from infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), building upon successes achieved by large-scale genome sequencing analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants in guiding COVID-19 monitoring and public health responses and adopting a One Health approach.

ESCMID AMR petition for UNGA 2024

In the run-up to the UNGA (UN General Assembly) meeting in New York, USA in September, ESCMID has organised a petition that we would like to share with you and urge you to sign. Antimicrobial resistance is on the agenda for the meeting and we want to really show global leaders how important this issue is and the lasting consequences if we don’t act now. Be sure to sign and send to your respective ministers and other influential politicians asking them to mobilise political attention at the highest level possible!
