Pharmacists in Infectious Diseases: Expertise, Partnership, Impact

Today, on National Pharmacist Day, we celebrate the incredible contributions of pharmacists to healthcare, and especially to our UNMC ID division. Pharmacists are not only medication experts; they are co-pilots for safe, effective, and equitable ID care. Their impact is especially visible in HIV care and antimicrobial stewardship, where the stakes are high and the […]

Fast, Accurate, and Practical: Rapid AST for Gram-Negative Bacteremia

Timely and accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is critical for managing bloodstream infections, and delays in initiating appropriate therapy can lead to serious complications. Conventional phenotypic AST, while reliable, can take up to 72 hours to result, and this can mean the difference between recovery and deterioration. Read more about a recent journal club presentation discussing this further!

Antibiotic Awareness Week Call To Action: Our Role in Preserving Antibiotics for the Future

Why This Matters Antibiotics are one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine, but their effectiveness is under threat. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rising globally, and without urgent action, common infections and routine procedures could become life-threatening. Clinicians are uniquely positioned to lead the fight against AMR, not only through prescribing decisions but also […]

Antibiotic Awareness Week: Advancing Health Equity in Antimicrobial Stewardship

Why Equity Matters in Stewardship Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health crisis, but its impact is not evenly distributed. Vulnerable populations, especially those with limited access to healthcare, marginalized communities, and patients in resource-limited settings, face disproportionate risks. These disparities stem from systemic barriers, including unequal access to diagnostics, inconsistent prescribing practices, and language […]

Antibiotic Awareness Week: What Clinicians Should Know about AMR in Our Environment

The Hidden Role of the Environment in Antimicrobial Resistance When we think about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), we often picture hospitals and clinics. But the environment—our water systems, soil, and even hospital wastewater—plays a critical role in spreading resistant organisms. Antibiotics and resistant bacteria can enter the environment through pharmaceutical manufacturing, agricultural runoff, and improper disposal […]

Antibiotic Awareness Week: Collaborating Across Sectors to Combat AMR

Why Collaboration Matters Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is not confined to hospitals or clinics—it spans human health, animal health, and the environment. Resistant bacteria can move between people, animals, and ecosystems, making AMR a One Health issue. For clinicians, this means stewardship efforts must extend beyond prescribing practices to include partnerships across sectors. The One Health […]

Antibiotic Awareness Week: Advanced Strategies for Antibiotic Stewardship

Why Advanced Stewardship Matters Basic prescribing principles such as avoiding antibiotics for viral infections are essential, but they’re not enough to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Hospitals and clinics need advanced stewardship strategies to optimize antibiotic use, improve patient outcomes, and reduce resistance rates. These strategies go beyond education and require system-level interventions supported by data […]
