Welcome to this June episode! This month we bring you a story and theme we consider very important in the efforts to control AMR: patient advocacy. Tune in to listen to the story of Vanessa Carter, a patient who suffered from the consequences of antibiotic resistance during her recovery after a car accident, and saw first hand the shortcomings of how resistance is communicated in healthcare. We talk to her about her experience and how she, after this traumatic event, focused on raising awareness. We also learn from her the importance of patient participation and how we can help more stories be heard. In the news section, we bring you an article describing a new board game teaching antimicrobial stewardship to healthcare workers, and a study looking into the evolution of antibiotic tolerance and the role of antibiotic mode of action in relation to the bacteria's metabolic state. We hope you enjoy!Check relevant links in the show notes at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode39/. Follow our updates on twitter on www.twitter.com/uac_uu with #theAMRstudio hashtag!

Vanessa Carter, Health activist

Vanessa Marie Carter was born in White Rock, British Columbia and moved to Oakville, Ontario at the age of two. Most of her life has been dedicated to her love of the performing arts. She began dancing at the age of three and danced competitively until she was finished High School. At a young age, her love of dance and live performance led her into the world of Musical Theatre and soon after she began focusing most of her time on singing. She had a dedicated professional vocal coach and naturally fell into the country genre.By the age of twelve, Vanessa was a veteran of musical theatre, having already had the lead role in several local theatre productions. As a teen, she co- wrote and performed several songs with her best friend and sang wherever she could, including as a soloist at many company parties, weddings and other corporate functions. Her love for performing in front of an audience was developing rapidly. “I have a huge extended family…many of my cousins and uncles are incredibly talented folk and rock musicians and I grew up listening to them sing Johnny Cash, Neil Young and Pink Floyd around a camp fire. They have really inspired me to build a future in the music business…that’s a goal I’ve have had for as long as I can remember.”In early 2011, Vanessa began working with a Canadian Indie record label and recorded four country songs out of Nashville, Tennessee, all of which are available today on iTunes. During the summer of 2011, Vanessa performed at a number of high profile events in the Toronto area, notably the Beaches International Jazz Festival and the Fairbanks Village Summerfest. It was at events like this where Vanessa developed her on-stage skills, as well as an insatiable appetite for live performance. In the fall of 2011, Vanessa was signed to a recording contract in Toronto and worked with a record label for 6 months, further developing her artistry. While working with such talented industry professionals, Vanessa’s appreciation for quality country music heightened.“I remember liking country music before my friends thought it was ‘cool’. Thanks to crossover artists like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, country music has become a big player on top 40 radio. I am a huge Shania Twain fan for many reasons, but I always loved that she burst on the country music scene and really shook things up…that’s something that I’ll always aspire to do.” A very talented performer who is now equally focused on the craft of song writing, Vanessa continues to perform with her band and further develop her artistry and creative identity. She anticipates that her greatest accomplishment will be to ultimately gain the acceptance of industry professionals in the Country genre.
