• Best Papers in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2024

  The past year in Clinical Microbiology, as seen through the lens of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. Four JCM editors have each selected a paper they consider to be among the “best” we published in 2024. Of course there are no objective criteria for what makes a paper the “best.” So, by “best,” we mean “a paper that I find exciting.” View this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK9ZqZUrDiY Guests: Patricia Simner, Ph.D., D(ABMM), Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Romney Humphries, Ph.D., D(ABMM), M(ASCP), Vanderbilt University Medical Center Links: Wood RC, Luabeya AK, Dragovich RB, Olson AM, Lochner KA, Weigel KM, Codsi R, Mulenga H, de Vos M, Kohli M, Penn-Nicholson A, Hatherill M, Cangelosi GA. 2024.

• The Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership (GARDP)

  Lack of access to antibiotics including those with enhanced activity against multidrug-resistant organisms is a major barrier to combat antimicrobial resistance, particularly in the developing world. Furthermore, discovering and making available new antimicrobial agents against the most pressing antibiotic-resitant organisms is a challenge due to multiple barriers. The Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership (GARDP) accelerates the development and access of treatments for drug-resistant bacterial infections. Together with public, private and non-profit partners, GARDP works to preserve the power of antibiotics for generations to come. We discuss the important role that GARDP is playing in the worldwide fight against antimicrobial resistance. Topics discussed: GARDP function and role in the AMR field The strategies that GARDP is implementing to make new antibiotics available to all The future of antimicrobial research and development and the role of GARDP in this process. Guests: Jennifer Cohn MD MPH, Director, Global Access Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP) Susana Ribeiro, MPH, Regional Head Latin America Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP) This episode is brought to you by the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Journal.  Visit asm.org/aac to browse issues and/or submit a manuscript.

• At-Home Collection and Testing for STIs

  So you want validated, at-home, self-collected swabs for STI testing… Here's what you need to know!  Sexually transmitted infection rates continue to climb across the US and while testing for these diseases is widely available, for the most part it requires the patient to go to a local clinic to collect and submit their sample for testing. But, is that really necessary, especially from a test accuracy perspective? Today’s guests answer that exact question. And I’m sure that many, if not all of us would agree that the ability for patients to collect samples outside of a clinical setting has numerous benefits, including what the authors refer to as pseudo-anonymity, increased comfort and ultimately increased access to testing, which would be of particular value for patients that may avoid clinical settings due to various different socioeconomic barriers.  Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/40XCHpAFvqw Guests: Dr. Breland Hockman, who is a board certified clinical chemist and the Director of Clinical Affairs at LetsGetChecked.com Dr. Dina Greene, Clinical Professor at University of Washington, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology and former Associate Lab Director at LetsGetChecked.com Links: Overcoming analytical and preanalytical challenges associated with extragenital home collected STI specimens Join ASM for up to 50% off the publication fees when you publish in JCM or any of the ASM journals.
