We are pleased to share with you our new study, where we explored the diversity, AMR and the pathogenic potential of E. coli isolated from water sources in municipal Ibadan. The results revealed: multidrug resistant and potentially pathogenic strains across different water sources and LGAs.
2025 was a miserable year for global health
It’s nice see some hopeful things we can look forward to 👇🏾

A lot of #AMR prevention could be achieved if we consider the upstream drivers - systems, behaviours, social determinants of health - and see changes on a larger scale.
Change will happen when we translate the %R to a dollar value of economic impacts

A few years ago we asked an important public health question:What is the quality of household water in municipal Ibadan, Nigeria?
The initial study revealed the water sources did not meet the bacteriological standards, raising deeper questions on the genomic characteristics of E.coli in the water.
Both studies emphasize the link between water quality and the spread of AMR, highlighting the importance of environmental surveillance in tackling AMR.
Sincerely grateful to my PI @iruka-okeke.bsky.social, supervisor, partner and all collaborators on this project.
Really enjoyed the Antimicrobial Resistance – Genomes, Big Data and Emerging Technologies conference #AMR2026. Highly recommended, hope to be back in 2028!

Hot off the press in @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social!
In (Un)intended Consequences, we conduct a #socsci stocktake of 10 years of research on #AMR interventions, highlight the need for more contextual #antimicrobial governance & make recommendations #GAP'26! #IDSky
