Description
Editors at The Lancet Microbe, in conversation with the journal’s authors, explore their latest research and its impact on people’s health, healthcare, and health policy.
A monthly audio companion to this open access journal, this podcast covers a broad range of topics, from using probiotics to reduce Staphylococcus aureus, to phage therapy and monitoring antimicrobial resistance using faecal metagenomes, and more.

Elena Dalla Vecchia talks with Claas Kirchhelle and Lloyd Czaplewski about the current antimicrobial resistance (AMR) governance (with a historical perspective on how it came to be), the 2015 WHO Global Action Plan (GAP) on AMR and the draft for the 2026 updated GAP, the role of social sciences in addressing AMR, the financing mechanisms in antibiotic research and development (including push and pull incentives with public and philantropic funding), and perspectives on the future of the fight...
Elisa Pucu from The Lancet Microbe interviews Dr. Magnus Unemo of Örebro University about the clinical implications and key findings from his research. They discuss about the the microbiological analysis and whole genome sequencing of treatment failures from the zoliflodacin phase 3 clinical trial for gonorrhea—revealing insights that could change the future of treatment and antibiotic resistance.

Phoebe Ashley-Norman of The Lancet Microbe speaks to Amber Barton about the neglected tropical disease, yaws. Efforts to eradicate yaws were first made in the 1950s through a WHO and UNICEF campaign that reduced yaws prevalence by 90%, but it remained endemic in some regions. Global efforts involving the mass drug administration of azithromycin continue in pursuit of the WHO 2030 yaws eradication goal. In this podcast, Amber discusses how genomic epidemiology can be used to investigate ...
Elena Dalla Vecchia of The Lancet Microbe speaks to Dr Britt Koskella about bacteriophages and phageome, their role in modulating the bacteriome, their potential use as signatures of microbiome health and dysbiosis, and hence, indirectly, as markers of host health and disease status. From an ecological perspective, parasites (such as bacteriophages) are key drivers of the evolution of their hosts (bacteria), and so one might expect to find diverse and rich bacteriomes in the presence of...
Rebecca Barksby of The Lancet Microbe speaks to Dr Christian Malaka and Dr Livia Patrono on mpox in the Central African Republic and how researchers are using genomic surveillance to provide insights into the epidemiology of the virus.

Elena Dalla Vecchia talks with Dr Sam Lipworth and Prof Nicole Stoesser about the challenges and variability in genotypic predictions of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli, about which they have published two papers in The Lancet Microbe: “Exploring uncatalogued genetic variation in antimicrobial resistance gene families in Escherichia coli: an observational analysis” and “Estimating the association of antimicrobial resistance genes with minimum inhibitory concentration in Escherich...
