title: AMRIS data challenge

description: Utilizing the Vivli AMR Surveillance Open Data Challenge to bridge the AMR awareness gap.
Warm greetings from Team AMRIS. Reference is hereby made to the above. We are interested in analyzing trends, generating projections of resistance profiles of ESKAPEE microorganisms and bridging the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) awareness gap of these organisms to key stake holders. The primary objectives for this study include:
I.	To analyze the resistance trends of ESKAPEE microorganisms in Kenya between 2010 and 2020, utilizing AMR surveillance data.
II.	To develop projections of resistance profiles of ESKAPEE microorganisms based on the AMR surveillance data collected between 2010 and 2020 in Kenya.
III.	To effectively disseminate our findings to clinicians, researchers, policy makers, and the general public through customized messages.
IV.	To create a web-based platform that serves as a centralized platform for sharing information on the prevalence, trends, projections, and AMR customized messages to stake holders.  
Team AMRIS is a multi-disciplinary team whose individuals are knowledgeable in pharmacy, microbiology, biostatistics, software development, product development and research. This team is currently working on a project aimed at creating a centralized platform for creating awareness on AMR. However, our progress is hindered by inaccessibility of AMR surveillance data in Uganda. Consequently, gaining access to the Vivli AMR Surveillance data would enable us to turn our innovative ideas into reality.
Thank you for considering our expression of interest. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to participate in this challenge and positively impact the fight against AMR.

title: Data Challenge - An Evaluation of Klebsiella pneumoniae Antimicrobial Resistance Trends in LMICs

description: The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a burgeoning public health crisis, exacerbated by the rampant spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens. A key contributor to this crisis is Klebsiella pneumoniae, which elicits a wide range of clinical manifestations and often demonstrate significant levels of AMR.
K. pneumoniae alone contributes to approximately a third of all Gram-negative infections worldwide. It is the most frequent cause of Gram-negative bacterial neonatal sepsis in Africa and Asia. Despite these alarming findings, the comprehensive surveillance of AMR in K. pneumoniae from LMICs is currently, lacking. In particular, the genomic contexts underpinning the spread of resistance in this organism from these settings remain largely unexplored.
To address these gaps, we propose to utilise the extensive surveillance data available on the Vivli AMR Register (from Pfizer and Venatorx) and publicly available global AMR genotype data to achieve the following research questions: 
1)	Investigate the spatiotemporal trends of K. pneumoniae AMR in LMICs. This analysis will allow us to identify regions and sources most affected by, or at highest risk for, the spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae AMR.
2)	Identity prevalent resistance mechanisms and potentially emerging resistance patterns among K. pneumoniae isolates from LMICs. This will be achieved by incorporating genomic datasets from Africa available via WHO, ResistanceMap-CDDEP (https://resistancemap.onehealthtrust.org/) and Pathogen Watch (www.pathogen.watch).
We propose developing INTEGRAS (Integrated Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance), a collaborative, open-access and interactive data-driven dashboard dedicated to visualising the spatiotemporal trends discovered through our research and exploring phenotypic and genotypic data of K. pneumoniae AMR in LMICs. 
INTEGRAS would offer users to interactively explore patterns and trends in AMR phenotypes over time and across geographic regions, thus facilitating comparisons of genotype and phenotype, antibiotic consumption data and AMR trends for a specific resistance mechanism.

title: DPT Data Challenge

description: 
Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common hospital and community acquired infections and  prevalence between 13 and 74% have been reported across the globe with a higher prevalence across Southeast Asian countries including India. It contributes towards increase hospital lengths of stay and result in major increase in healthcare expenditure and healthcare resource utilization. Increased international travel has also facilitated transmission of several multidrug resistant bacteria including MRSA across several continents. MRSA have been noted to be spread commonly across elderly in nursing homes, thus there is an urgent need to have early baseline data made available to public health workers and policy makers for effective disease prevention and containment. This data can be transmitted through mobile device applications that will help physicians make informed choice on antibiotic prescription especially for people with travel history to high risk areas. It will help to improve antibiotic stewardship by regulating prescription of high-risk antibiotic and its use by patients and reduce secondary complications. Furthermore, identifying commonalities in antibiotic resistance patterns across the datasets can help in making cost effective timely interventions and reduce the burden on the healthcare system.

title: Monitoring the changes in the susceptibility pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to seven classes of antibiotics in the Eastern Mediterranean region from 2004 to 2021.

description: Background 

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a great threat to public health and the world economy. As the prevalence of AMR is reported to be increasing in high-income countries, we are running out of usable antimicrobials to utilize in the fight against multi-drug and extremely drug-resistant (MDR and XDR, respectively) antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, particularly, is one of the pathogens identified by the WHO as being part of the ESKAPE, pathogens known for their high resistance rates, and is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMRO) [1]. 

Rationale 

The burden of AMR in the Eastern Mediterranean region is underreported. Some reports suggest that MDR P. aeruginosa rates may be as high as 80% in some countries [1]. Through this research, we aim to highlight the changes in susceptibility patterns in P. aeruginosa infections that happened through the years in EMRO, and the main genotypes isolated from each country.  

Research question(s) 

1. Has P. aeruginosa in patients with respiratory, urinary tract, and bloodstream infections developed antimicrobial resistance to the first-line (e.g., penicillins), combination (aminoglycosides), or last-line antibiotics (e.g., polymyxins) in the Eastern Mediterranean region from 2004 to 2021? 

2. In 2021, was there a disparity in the prevalence of MDR and XDR strains of P. aeruginosa in patients with respiratory, urinary tract, and bloodstream infections among EMRO countries? 

3. What are the most common P. aeruginosa genotypes isolated from each EMRO country and their associated AMR?

title: Data Challenge - Investigating the antibiotics resistance pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in patients with co-infections versus patients with mono-infections.

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are opportunistic human pathogens associated with hospital-acquired infections. Both organisms have demonstrated alarming rates of antibiotic resistance, making them a major concern within the medical community. Previous studies have indicated that patients colonized by P. aeruginosa may also become co-infected with S. aureus. However, it remains unclear whether the presence of P. aeruginosa increases the resistance of S. aureus to different groups of antibiotics, and vice versa. Furthermore, whether this resistance pattern differs between developing and developed countries hasn’t been fully established. Our research aims to determine the resistance pattern of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus when they co-infect a patient versus when they do not and how this resistance pattern differs based on sex, age and geographical distribution. We hypothesize that co-infected patients regardless of sex, age and geographical distribution, would have a significantly higher antibiotic resistance pattern in comparison to patients infected with P. aeruginosa and S. aureus alone. To verify this hypothesis, we will perform a retrospective study using patient data from various pharmaceutical institutions across developing and developed countries (via the Vivli AMR platform). Antibiotic susceptibility test results performed on bacterial cultures from patients with either co-infections or mono infections will be analyzed and compared to ascertain any significant differences in resistance patterns. The results from this study will contribute significantly to the body of knowledge surrounding antibiotic resistance, potentially influencing treatment regimens for patients with P. aeruginosa and S. aureus infections and potentially improve disease outcomes in patients. The findings from this study could provide crucial insights into the antibiotic resistance patterns of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, potentially informing future treatment strategies and public health policies. Moreover, understanding any differences in resistance patterns across different socio-economic regions could help to address global health disparities and guide targeted interventions. Ultimately, our research could help to combat the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance worldwide.

title: Assessing the Interplay between Antimicrobial Resistant Rates, Government Policy Interventions Worldwide, Vaccine Coverage, and Climate Change: An Empirical Study Utilizing Global Data_AMR Data Challenge

description: AMR poses significant threats to human health, causing an alarming number of deaths each year and projecting an even more devastating future. Our research proposal aims to investigate the complex relationship between government policy interventions, vaccine coverage, climate change, and the rate of AMR, focusing specifically on Streptococcus pneumoniae.

To achieve our research objectives, we plan to employ a systematic review methodology to gather data on government policy interventions and vaccine coverage, with a particular emphasis on childhood pneumococcal vaccination. Additionally, we will employ established and reliable methods to acquire data on climate change. The centrepiece of this study will revolve around the primary measure of interest—the antimicrobial resistance rate of S. pneumoniae—which will undergo meticulous meta-analysis over the span of a decade (10 years), employing the advanced AMR SITAR model. This approach will enable us to assess the individual contributions of government policy interventions, vaccine coverage, and climate change to changes in AMR rates.

Our research team comprises experts with diverse backgrounds and expertise hailing from five different countries. By integrating different perspectives and methodologies, we aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the data.

The anticipated results of this study hold immense value in shedding light on the factors influencing AMR and the effectiveness of government policies, vaccine coverage, and climate change in reducing AMR rates. This knowledge will serve as a foundation for developing evidence-based strategies and interventions to combat AMR effectively. By informing policy development and interventions, we aim to contribute to the global efforts to mitigate the devastating consequences of AMR.

In conclusion, this data challenge presents an invaluable opportunity for us to investigate the intricate dynamics between government policy interventions, vaccine coverage, climate change, and the rate of AMR.

title: LTREB: Aboveground biomass, plant density, annual aboveground productivity, plant heights and snail observations in control and fertilized plots in a Spartina alterniflora-dominated salt marsh, North Inlet, Georgetown, SC: 1984-2022

description: Aboveground biomass and plant density were measured non-destructively as a component of a long-term project seeking to understand how salt marsh primary production and sediment chemistry respond to anthropogenic (e.g. eutrophication) and natural (e.g. sea-level rise) environmental change. Feedbacks between plants, sediments, nutrients and flooding were investigated with particular attention to mechanisms that keep marshes in equilibrium with sea level. Biomass was calculated from plant height measurements using allometric equations. Annual productivity was calculated from approximately-monthly biomass estimates. In addition to plant height measurements, observations of snails in sample plots were recorded. Other data collected as part of the project include marsh surface elevation and porewater nutrient concentrations. These data have been used to develop the Marsh Equilibrium Model, an important tool for coastal resource managers. Sampling occurred at Spartina alterniflora-dominated salt marsh sites in North Inlet, a relatively pristine estuary near Georgetown, SC on the SE coast of the United States. North Inlet is a tidally-dominated, bar-built estuary, with a semi-diurnal mixed tide and a tidal range of 1.4m. The 25-km2 estuary is comprised of about 20.5 km2 of intertidal salt marsh and mudflats, and 4.5 km2 of open water. Sampling began at one location in 1984, and at three additional locations in 1986. Sampling occurred approximately monthly through 2022. The study is on-going. There are four sampling locations at two sites. Two locations are in the low marsh; two locations are in the high marsh. One high marsh location had control sampling plots in addition to plots fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorus.

title: Negative outcomes of novel trophic interactions along mangrove range edges in the Gulf of Mexico: 2020-2021

description: Mangrove encroachment is shifting the food sources available to basal consumers in Gulf of Mexico salt marshes, so we sought to determine how two important basal consumers will respond to mangroves as a food source. We collected Littoraria irrorata and leaves of Spartina alterniflora, and Avicennia germinans from marshes in Galveston, Texas in summer of 2020 for a series of food preference and food quality studies. Additionally, we compared the physiological conditions of Littoraria irrorata and Uca rapax individuals collected from manipulated sites with varying levels of mangrove cover in Port Aransas, Texas in late 2020 and early 2021. These studies yielded results on the behavioral and physiological responses of basal consumers to mangrove plant matter as a food source.

title: Trophic interactions of fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) with black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) detrital matter as a result of mangrove encroachment; 2018 and 2019

description: Woody plant encroachment is reshaping communities in both terrestrial and coastal environments, but little is known about its effects on basal consumers. We used interactions between fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) and the encroaching mangrove Avicennia germinans in Gulf of Mexico salt marshes to explore trophic interactions between basal consumers and encroaching shrubs. Fiddler crabs were collected from wetlands in Galveston, Texas in summer 2018 and 2019 and used in a series of food preference and food quality trials. Through these trials we collected data on the relative attractiveness and quality of black mangroves and smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) as food sources for fiddler crabs.
