Most AMR data is still collapsed to “resistant vs susceptible.” But resistance often shows gradual shifts before cut-offs. AMR Cartography maps full profiles in 2D — revealing co-resistance, sub-breakpoint changes & lineage patterns. 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 New paper in eLife! We analysed >100k malaria parasite samples to track the rise of artemisinin resistance. Resistance is now emerging in Africa, echoing SE Asia 10–15 yrs ago. Genomic surveillance is key to staying one step ahead! elifesciences.org/articles/10554…

[New pre-print🚨] When a single genotype (pbp) confer resistance to multiple antibiotics (penicillin and cephalosporins), how do we make sense of genetic changes and their impact on AMR? A new concept - AMR cartography is invented by @Quackscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


We’ve just posted AMR Cartography on bioRxiv: a way to study multivariate drug resistance and connect it to genotypes. Would love feedback from people working with surveillance MIC data! @AntibioticResis @crypticproject biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

AMR Cartography lets us visualise how different pneumococcal lineages have distinct multivariate resistance phenotypes. @pneumowatch
