Can We Predict Bloodstream AMR Without Blood?
Using urinary resistomes to infer population-level resistance in invasive infections

with
Arun Gonzales Decano, PhD
Senior Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Bioinformatician, Infection and Immunity Research Institute, City St George’s, University of London, United Kingdom

05/05/2026

In the Philippines, where access to timely blood culture diagnostics remains uneven, alternative surveillance approaches may help bridge critical gaps in understanding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in invasive infections. Exploring whether urinary resistomes can serve as proxies for bloodstream resistance patterns offers a potentially scalable and less resource-intensive pathway for population-level monitoring. Such approaches may complement existing systems by enabling earlier, broader, and more context-sensitive insights into AMR dynamics across diverse healthcare settings.

With this in mind, the Microbiology Consortium of the Philippines, Inc. and the Philippine Genome Center are excited to announce this month's webinar entitled "𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝗠𝗥 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱? 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀."

Understanding the trillions of microbes that inhabit the human body could redefine how we approach health and disease management. Unlocking the potential of these microbial communities may pave the way for treatments that are both personalized and sustainable. In a country like the Philippines, where infectious and chronic diseases remain a challenge, leveraging the microbiome could transform healthcare from reactive to proactive.

With this in mind, the Microbiology Consortium of the Philippines, Inc. and the Philippine Genome Center are excited to announce this month's webinar entitled "𝗢𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆

Advancing knowledge on how microbial cells interact at critical biological interfaces helps strengthen the scientific basis for understanding infectious diseases that remain relevant in tropical and resource-diverse settings such as the Philippines. Generating this type of fundamental insight also supports the development of locally grounded expertise needed to investigate pathogens affecting vulnerable populations in the region. More broadly, expanding research capacity in fungal pathogenesis contributes to the country’s ability to respond to evolving public health challenges and emerging infectious diseases.

With this in mind, the Microbiology Consortium of the Philippines, Inc. and the Philippine Genome Center are excited to announce this month's webinar entitled, "𝘾𝙧𝙮𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙨 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹–𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀."

The Philippines, as a biodiversity-rich and agriculture-dependent country, faces persistent and emerging threats from animal and plant pathogens that compromise food security, public health, and economic resilience. Applying long-read, third-generation sequencing technologies enables more accurate resolution of complex genomes, structural variations, and mobile genetic elements that are often poorly captured by short-read approaches, thereby strengthening pathogen surveillance and evolutionary analyses. Integrating these advanced genomics platforms into local research and diagnostic pipelines will enhance the country’s capacity for early detection, outbreak response, and evidence-based biosecurity strategies.

With this in mind, the Microbiology Consortium of the Philippines, Inc. is excited to announce its second monthly webinar of the year entitled, "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀: 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴."

In the Philippines, with its rich biodiversity, scattered islands, and close interaction between humans, animals, and crops, microbial variation often occurs at levels finer than conventional species classifications. Even small genetic differences can affect host range, virulence, and local distribution, with direct consequences for agriculture, public health, and ecosystem management across the archipelago. In this context, where resources for surveillance and regulatory action are limited, the ability to precisely distinguish closely related organisms is critical for timely and reliable risk assessment.

With this in mind, the Microbiology Consortium of the Philippines, Inc. is excited to announce its first edition of this year's Monthly Microbilogy Webinar Series entitled "𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆."
