Health care public relations leader Melanie Doupé Gaiser discusses her article, "Antimicrobial resistance needs a publicist." She highlights antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as an urgent and deadly public health crisis that is not receiving the attention it warrants, particularly in the U.S. Melanie shares her personal stake in the issue, living with a critical antibiotic allergy, and underscores the looming threat of a post-antibiotic era where common infections could become fatal. The conversation covers the staggering potential human and economic costs of AMR, the reasons behind its low public profile despite these risks, and legislative efforts. Melanie issues a compelling call to action for everyone—researchers, health care professionals, patients, and the general public—to become "AMR publicists" by sharing stories, engaging with media, and advocating for policy changes. The key takeaway is: Collective public and professional advocacy is crucial to elevate AMR on the national agenda, drive innovation in antibiotic development, and implement policies to combat this growing global threat.

Episode Summary Afreenish Amir, Ph.D., Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Project Director at the National Institute of Health in Pakistan, highlights significant increases in extensively drug-resistant typhoid and cholera cases in Pakistan and discusses local factors driving AMR in Asia. She describes the development and implementation of a National Action Plan to combat AMR in a developing country, emphasizing the importance of rational antimicrobial use, surveillance and infection control practice. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways AMR is a global and One Health issue. Pakistan has a huge disease burden of AMR. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, overcrowding, lack of infection control practices, poor waste management practices and over-the-counter prescription practices. Promoting the rational use of antimicrobials is imperative at all levels—from tertiary care to primary care practitioners. Typhoid and cholera are high-burden infections in Pakistan, with typhoid being a year-round issue and cholera being seasonal. A holistic approach, involving various sectors and disciplines, is necessary in order to address the global AMR threat. Amir highlights the need for better communication and collaboration to bridge gaps and build trust between different organizations. Featured Quotes: I've been working at the National Institutes of Health for the last 7 years now. So, I've been engaged in the development and the implementation of the national action plan on AMR, and that gave me the opportunity to explore the work in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Reality of AMR in Pakistan [Pakistan] is an LMIC, and we have a huge disease burden of antimicrobial resistance in the country right now. A few years back, there was a situational analysis conducted, and that has shown that there is presence of a large number of resistant pathogens within the country. And National Institutes of Health, they have started a very standardized surveillance program based upon the global antimicrobial use and surveillance system back in 2017. And [those datasets have] generated good evidence about the basic statistics of AMR within the country. So, for example, if I talk about the extensively drug-resistant typhoid, typhoid is very much prevalent in the country. Our data shows that in 2017 there were 18% MDR typhoid cases through the surveillance data. And in 2021 it was like 60%. So that has shown that how the resistance has increased a lot. A number of challenges are associated with this kind of a thing, overcrowded hospitals, poor infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. So, there is AMR within the country—there's a huge burden—and we are trying to look for the better solutions.  Local Factors Driving AMR Bacteria, they do not know the borders. We have a close connection with the other Asian countries, and we have a long border connected with the 2 big countries, which are Afghanistan and India and Bangladesh and China. So, we see that it's not limited to 1 area. It's not regional. It's also a history of travel. When the people travel from one area to the other, they carry the pathogen as a colonizer or as a carrier, and they can infect [other] people. So, it's really connected, and it's really alarming as well. You never know how the disease is transmitted, and we have the biggest example of COVID—how things have spread from 1 country to the other, and how it has resulted in a massive pandemic. AMR is similar. We have seen that it's not limited to 1 region. We are part of this global community, and we are contributing somehow to the problem. First, I'll talk about the health care infrastructure. We do have the capacities in the hospitals, but still, there's a huge population. Pakistan is a thickly populated country. It's a population of around 241 million. And with the increasing population, we see that the infrastructure has not developed this much. So now the existing hospitals are overcrowded, and this has led to poor infection control practices within the hospitals. The staff is not there. In fact, ID consultants are not available in all the hospitals. Infection control nurses are not available in all the hospitals. So, this is one of the main areas that we see, that there is a big challenge. The other thing that can contribute is the poor waste management practices. Some of the hospitals—private and public sectors—they are following the waste management guidelines—even the laboratories. But many of the hospitals are not following the guidelines. And you know that AMR is under one health. So, whatever waste comes from the hospital eventually goes to the environment, and then from there to the animal sector and to the human sector. [Another big] problem that we are seeing is the over-the-counter prescription of antimicrobials. There is no regulation available in the country right now to control the over-the-counter prescription of antibiotics. They are easily available. People are taking the antibiotics without a prescription from the doctors, and the pharmacist is giving the patients any kind of medicine. And either it is effective/not effective, it's a falsified, low-quality antibiotic for how long in duration antibiotic should be taken. So, there are multiple of things or reasons that we see behind this issue of AMR. Rational Use of Antimicrobials It is a complex process how we manage this thing, but what we are closely looking at in the country right now is that we promote the rational use of antimicrobials at all levels—not only at the tertiary care levels, but also at the general practitioner level. They are the first point of contact for the patients, with the doctors, with the clinicians. So, at this point, I think the empirical treatment needs to be defined, and they need to understand the importance of this, their local antibiograms, what are the local trends? What are the patterns? And they need to prescribe according to those patterns. And very recently, the AWaRE classification of WHO, that is a big, big support in identifying the rational use of antimicrobials—Access, Watch and Reserve list—that should be propagated and that should be understood by all the general practitioners. And again, I must say that it's all connected with the regulations. There should be close monitoring of all the antibiotic prescriptions, and that can help to control the issue of AMR. National Action Plan on AMR So, when I joined NIH, the National Election plan had already been developed. It was back in 2017, and we have a good senior hierarchy who has been working on it very closely for a long period of time. So, the Global Action Plan on AMR, that has been our guiding document for the development of the national action plan on AMR, and we are following the 5 strategic objectives proposed in the global action plan. The five areas included: The promotion of advocacy and awareness in the community and health care professionals. To generate evidence through the data, through the surveillance systems. Generation of support toward infection prevention and control services IPC. Promoting the use of antimicrobials both in the human sector and the animal sector, but under the concept of stewardship, antimicrobial consumption and utilization. Invest in the research and vaccine and development. So, these are some of the guiding principles for us to develop the National Action Plan, and it has already been developed. And it's a very comprehensive approach, I must say. And our institute has started working on it, basically towards recreating awareness and advocacy. And we have been successful in creating advocacy and awareness at a mass level. Surveillance We have a network of Sentinel surveillance laboratories engaged with us, and they are sharing the data with NIH on a regular basis, and this is helping NIH to understand the basic trends on AMR and what is happening. And eventually we plan to go towards this case-based surveillance as well, but this is definitely going to take some time because to make people understand the importance of surveillance, this is the first thing. And very recently, the Institute and country has started working towards the hospital acquired infection surveillance as well. So, this is a much-needed approach, because the lab and the hospital go hand in hand, like whatever is happening in the lab, they eventually reach the patients who are in the hospitals. Wastewater surveillance is the key. You are very right. Our institute has done some of the work toward typhoid and cholera wastewater surveillance, and we were trying to identify the sources where we are getting these kinds of pathogens. These are all enteric pathogens. They are the key source for the infection. And for the wastewater surveillance mechanism, we can say that we have to engage multiple stakeholders in this development process. It's not only the laboratory people at NIH, but we need to have a good epidemiologist. We need to have all the water agencies, like the public health engineering departments, the PCRWR, the environmental protection agencies who are working with all these wastewater sites. So, we need to connect with them to make a good platform and to make this program in a more robust fashion. Pathogens and Disease Burdon For cholera and typhoid within Pakistan, I must say these are the high burden infections or diseases that we are seeing. For typhoid, the burden is quite high. We have seen a transition from the multidrug-resistant pathogens to the extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now we are left with only azithromycin and the carbapenems. So, the burden is high. And when we talk about cholera, it is present in the country, but many of the times it is seasonal. It comes in during the time of the small zone rains and during the time of floods. So, every year, during this time, there are certain outbreaks that we have seen in different areas of the country. So, both diseases are there, but typhoid is like all year long—we see number of cases coming up—and for cholera, it's mainly seasonal. Capacity Building and ASM's Global Public Health Programs Capacity building is a key to everything, I must say, [whether] you talk about the training or development of materials. I've been engaged with ASM for quite some time. I worked to develop a [One Health] poster in the local language to create awareness about zoonotic diseases. So, we have targeted the 6 zoonotic diseases, including the anthrax, including the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and influenza. And we have generated a very user-friendly kind of layout in the local language, trying to teach people about the source of transmission. What are the routes of transmission, if we talk about the CCHF? And then how this can be prevented. So, this was one approach. And then I was engaged with the development of the Learnamr.com. This is online platform with 15 different e-modules within it, and we have covered different aspects—talking about the basic bacteriology toward the advanced, standardized methods, and we have talked about the national and global strategies [to combat] AMR, One Health aspects of AMR, vaccines. So, it's a huge platform, and I'm really thankful to ASM for supporting the program for development. And it's an online module. I have seen that there are around more than 500 subscribers to this program right now, and people are learning, and they are giving good feedback to the program as well. We keep on improving ourselves, but the good thing is that people are learning, and they are able to understand the basic concepts on AMR.

Send us a textPlastic is everywhere. So are drug-resistant microbes.What happens when the two team up?A raft of new studies show that bacteria can grow well on plastics, especially on microplastics. Other studies show just how widespread microplastics are – they are found in every ocean and sea tested so far. The most startling studies show these tiny bits of plastics can also build up in the human body, including in the liver and brain.Science is done piece by piece, study by study, with no single study painting the whole picture. Now a team at Boston University has added one piece to the puzzle, with a study demonstrating that drug-resistant bacteria grow well on microplastics.Neila Gross, a PhD candidate at BU, helped lead the research. Her team confirmed that E. coli bacteria form mats known as biofilms especially well on microplastics. The team found that antibiotic-resistant bacteria grew better when they were grown on microplastics.This raises a specter of billions of tiny pieces of plastic spreading drug-resistant bacteria around the world and being ingested and breathed in by animals from shellfish to marine mammals and, likely, people.Listen as Neila chats with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about how this happens and what it might mean for the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Exerting maximum influence on stakeholders, helping companies navigate regulatory complexity and promoting industry best practice are three big jobs that the UK consumer healthcare industry association, PAGB, has set itself for the next five years. In the last five years, PAGB has made significant headway with UK government, reports PAGB CEO Michelle Riddalls, establishing the economic and social value of self-care and ensuring that self-care is part of the UK's national healthcare strategy. Rx-to-OTC switch has been a major area of success, Michelle notes in this episode of the Over the Counter podcast. The Department of Health and Social Care recently published a list of switches it would like to see applications for, and PAGB is now facilitating members to take advantage of this opportunity. But there's always more work to be done. Switch involves significant risk, which PAGB is trying to reduce through further work with policy makers, and with a new government, the association must ensure that self-care remains high up on the agenda for politicians. Given the breadth of PAGB's work discussed by Michelle, we have split this episode into two, so watch out for the second part in two weeks' time on your favourite podcast provider and on Citeline's HBW Insight. Timestamps 2:10 – Introductions 2:40 – PAGB's new five-year strategy 5:40 – Evolution not revolution 8:00 – Self-care and UK government policy 10:30 – Quantifying the value of self-care 12:30 – Lobbying around AMR and OTCs 16:00 – Rx-to-OTC switch in the UK 24:00 – The power of brands Guest Bio Michelle Riddalls OBE is Chief Executive Officer of PAGB, the consumer healthcare association, which represents the manufacturers of branded over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, self-care medical devices and food supplements in the UK. Prior to joining PAGB, Michelle was Director of Regulatory Affairs for the Northern European Cluster at Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, where she was integral in the highly successful POM to GSL reclassification of Nexium Control and the Viagra Connect POM to P switch. Michelle has been recognised across a number of industry awards, including the Women in Trade Powerlist in 2024, and was awarded an OBE for outstanding services to consumer health in the King's 2025 New Year Honours.

Vectara is pioneering the field of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), addressing the critical challenge of hallucinations in AI systems. With over $53 million in funding, Vectara has positioned itself as the go-to platform for enterprises seeking to combat "RAG sprawl" while building AI assistants and agents that are accurate, secure, and explainable. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Amr Awadallah, CEO and Founder of Vectara, to explore his journey from Egyptian immigrant to serial entrepreneur and his vision for creating AI systems that enterprises can truly trust. Topics Discussed: Amr's journey from Egypt to Stanford in 1995 and how it transformed his career aspirations The entrepreneurial "infection" at Stanford that led Amr away from academia Founding and selling his first startup, Activia, to Yahoo in just one year The comparison of creating successful companies to the joy of having children How Vectara addresses the critical problem of hallucinations in large language models The concept of "RAG sprawl" and why enterprises need centralized governance Amr's framework for evaluating startup opportunities: technological inflection points, real problems, and great teams Why this AI revolution is a bigger technological inflection point than the internet or big data   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Focus on your unique value proposition: Amr emphasized the importance of standing out in a crowded market by focusing on what makes you unique. Vectara doubled down on accuracy and hallucination detection, becoming known as the company to combat AI hallucinations. B2B founders should identify what they can be known for that differentiates them from competitors. Choose your go-to-market strategy deliberately: When deciding between product-led growth or enterprise sales, commit fully to the approach that fits your business. For enterprise sales, implement account-based marketing focused on your ideal customer profile, host targeted field events, and use strategic dinners with compelling speakers to attract key prospects. Don't try to boil the ocean: The number one reason companies fail after team issues is lack of focus. Early-stage founders should maintain agility to test different approaches but quickly narrow focus based on where they're getting traction. Treat use cases as "two-way doors" - try them, keep what works, and move on from what doesn't. Build for the coming AI agent revolution: Amr predicts we'll move from the current "AI assistant phase" (requiring human oversight) to the "AI agent phase" (fully autonomous AI) within one year. B2B founders should position their products for this transition, particularly focusing on accuracy and trust as critical requirements for enterprise adoption. Leverage technological inflection points: Major technological shifts create gaps that allow startups to disrupt established players. Amr has built companies around three major inflection points: the internet (Activia), big data (Cloudera), and now large language models (Vectara). B2B founders should identify inflection points relevant to their industry and build solutions that capitalize on the new opportunities they create.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Send us a textIt's hard to overstate how popular writer John Green is. His most famous book, The Fault in Our Stars – a novel about teenagers with cancer, young love, and fate – has sold tens of millions of copies. The film based on the book brought in more than $300 million and it's still popular to this day.Green has become a YouTube star and leader of online communities of fans including Nerdfighteria, as well as a co-host of an annual fundraiser for Project for Awesome. He's also passionate about public health. Green is a member of the board of trustees for Partners in Health and posts regular videos about it.A trip to Sierra Leone in west Africa got Green interested in tuberculosis. Now he's written a book about that ancient disease: Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection.There are more characters than numbers in the book – from Henry, the charismatic young man John met who appears throughout the story, to the thin and pale women who once made people perceive TB as sexy (really). The book brings a star quality to an often-forgotten infection. Green hopes he can focus the attention of his dedicated audience on this leading global killer. His work to bring attention to TB comes at a dire time, as the incidence of drug-resistant TB grows and the U.S. government slashes funding for global TB care and research.In this episode of One World, One Health, John Green chats with host Maggie Fox about the book, why he wrote it, and what he hopes its publication will accomplish.

We're chatting with good friend of the pod Molly Williams, who suffered a heart attack a few months ago, about her experience, recovery, and the lessons she's learned along the way. Plus, we'll hear from Dr. Martha Gulati, a leading cardiologist, who'll share valuable insights on how to prioritize our heart health and stay ahead of any risks.  This is an important conversation you won't want to miss.
