Dr Boxall's research reveals meds & toxic compounds are more likely to be released in wastewater, in areas with low population, because water companies are only required to treat water once in these areas rather than twice in large towns.

‘It seems a highly questionable practice to knowingly profit by selling feedstuffs banned for use in Europe to developing countries that lack these regulations – particularly when these countries already suffer from some of the highest rates globally of antimicrobial resistance’

'By 2050, more people will die from antimicrobial resistance than both cancer and diabetes combined.'
Researchers from @IneosOxford have found that babies in Nigeria are being born with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

In the past week, only three people have signed up, and we still have over 200 kits ready to send to those who rarely swim in rivers or the sea (once a month or less).
Help us reach more people—please share this and spread the word! 🌊📢

Super excited that the final version of our paper on mutation rate plasticity and oxidative stress is out now at PLoS biology! This paper shows how mutation rates are a highly dynamic trait shaped by genotype, community composition and abiotic factors. 1/8 journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

In 2019, nearly 90% of all deaths caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria were in low- and middle-income countries.
The highest death rates were in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
To make matters worse – many more people could be affected than we realise. [2/3]

Does choosing one antibiotic impact how resistance to another evolves? Short answer is yes!
Was great contributing to this work led by @dralhubb, @blackpassiflora and Beth James along with @Mabi_Behruznia and others (not on twitter).
