ASM Microbe 2017kicked off with an exciting opening session featuringJulie Theriot,Lalita Ramakrishnan, and ASM Microbe Lecturer,尼克·莱恩, who were engaging and thought-provoking! It was a great chance to learn more about how the physical and the mechanical properties of bacteria can impact their behaviour (关联），关于如何使用斑马鱼模型来研究结核病的发病机理（关联）以及生命的三个领域之间的区别：细菌，古细菌和真核生物，来自生物能学的基础（关联）。
AMR, AMR… oh and AMR
The single most central theme on ASM Microbe 2017 was antimicrobial resistance (AMR) – and rightly so. This was evident first from the address byASM President Susan Sharp, who spoke about the urgency for a global “one health” solution on AMR. She discussed her representation of ASM at the 2016 United Nations General Assembly focused on AMR, where world leaders expressed concerns ranging from the basic needs of clean water and sanitation, access to effective antibiotics in lower income nations, to overutilization and misutilization of antibiotics in developed countries. ASM has established a multi-stakeholder initiative convening key experts to share and analyse the current status of AMR. We look forward to seeing how this unfolds in the medium term.
However the address on AMR did not end there. A session with the theme “Global response to antimicrobial resistance: can humans win this war?” offered further insight into the dissemination and control of AMR.Teresa Coque·拉蒙-卡哈尔大学医院了thorough talk on the environmental dimension of AMR. She spoke about antimicrobial use, the absence of official legislation, about how the farm can affect hospitals and about the factors that influence antibiotic effects.Michihico Goto爱荷华大学提出了一项关于如何控制人类AMR传播的高级战略。自然，这场演讲重点放在手工卫生和环境/医院的清洁度上，并真正使我们感到奇怪：“干净足够干净？”。最后，我们参加了一场关于积极管理干预措施的精彩演讲，以扭转AMR和医院的感染（HAIS）伊恩·古尔德来自阿伯丁大学。他的演讲结束了，他展示了鲍勃·迪伦（Bob Dylan）的歌曲《敲门门》（Knocking onkeing Door）的有趣重演。跳到此博客的结尾阅读歌词！
BMC Microbiologyrecognises the trend on AMR and plans to respond soon with a new special issue on a very relevant and important topic – stay tuned!
A keynote address… out of this world!
NASA宇航员和病毒学家凯特·鲁宾博士delivered an inspiring keynote address about her journey through space. Her story about how it all started never seizes to amaze:
“当我的一位朋友找到了为宇航员申请发布的联邦政府工作，并鼓励我申请娱乐时，我在申请赠款时拖延了。”
她最终在2009年被NASA选中了18,000份申请。然后，她参加了一项激烈的三年培训课程，该课程涉及在水和土地上的生存培训，驾驶T-38超音速战斗机培训师（！）以及学习如何进行太空行走。鲁宾博士完成了她在Expedition 48/49上的第一个太空飞行，在那里她成为第一个在太空中序列DNA的人。她在太空中度过了115天，进行了两次太空行走。
她关于在没有重力的情况下在国际空间站进行时间测序DNA的故事，再加上她对实时数据分析的知识，微生物环境在轨道和新兴技术的重要性，这是一种令人着迷微生物科学。
鲁宾博士还谈到了宇航员和宇航员团队的国际性质，她在太空旅行之前和期间都花了无数小时的培训和孜孜不倦地作为一个单位工作。她向歧视传达了一个明确的信息，她提升了统一，应该正确提升的价值观，尤其是在我们时代。这是非常受欢迎的。

“敲过药剂师的门”
Nebot and Lawes (21/01/2016), presented by Ian Gould at ASM Microbe 2017.
“Mama, take the old cephalosporins off me
‘Cause I can’t use them anymore
There’s ESBL in every pee
殖民每个走廊
Knock, knock, knocking on the pharmacist’s door
Knocking on the microbiologist’s door
敲打传染病专家的门
Infection prevention and control team door
妈妈，把喹诺酮放在地上
‘Cause they’re not useful anymore
SAPG is coming down
将碳青霉烯在商店中锁定
妈妈，把克林霉素脱掉
And take the co-amoxiclav too
‘因为我到处都有C diff
And MRSA is nothing new
Mama, put the macrolides in the ground
无论如何，这是病毒疾病
You know your judgement is really sound
So send you patients on their way
Mama, take ciprofloxacin off of me
‘因为它总是过度杀伤
GSK或Eli-Lilly不多
If we can’t save them, then no-one will”
