NAMRA - Network for Antimicrobial Resistance Action
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Southampton
Department Name: Faculty of Engineering & the Environment
Abstract
Microbes continually evolve antibiotic-resistant strains despite the best efforts of biomedical scientists to combat them. This is taking us towards a future where routine operations and infections become high-risk, and where we cannot produce sufficient food globally (70% of antibiotics in the USA are used in animals for food production).
A new strategy is needed to combat Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). This network will take world-leading Engineering and Physical Science (EPS) researchers and introduce them into a new Network for Antimicrobial Resistance Action (NAMRA). In a series of structured events, they will share their expertise with clinicians from the NHS, with biomedical scientists, and researchers from Health and Life Sciences. These people can tell the EPS researchers about the AMR problems that need tackling, and how any solutions must be designed to work in a real-world environment for use by healthcare workers, farmers, industry and the workplace. To help in this, the Network also includes leading researchers from Social and Human Sciences who can explain how AMR solutions must fit in with human behaviour, with Geographers who are experts in how distribution of the waters supply, and how livestock practices, affect AMR; with experts in the Legal and Ethical issues in developing new solutions to AMR for use in the wider world; and with experts in Business who research how supply chain issues affect AMR.
The EPS researchers have developed many world leading technologies, from the award-winning StarStream cleaning product, to surfaces that keep clean by mimicking shark skin. Such technologies were developed for other sectors (defence, nuclear etc.) and it is vital that such expertise be translated into the fight against AMR. Within NAMRA, the inventors can access the experts who understand AMR, and access laboratories and clinics to test the step-changing solutions they collaboratively identify. In return, world-leading work by current AMR researchers can be enhanced through NAMRA contacts to:
-engineer solutions;
-shape them for ready adoption by healthcare workers and others;
-set out the behavioural, ethical and legal framework for their adoption; and
-develop the business solutions so that, rather than staying on the laboratory bench, step-changing technologies can be fashioned into products that are available across the UK, and beyond.
The project begins with a 'Start-up' conference for attendees to share expertise and identify possible collaborators. Break-out sessions facilitate collaborative bids for NAMRA to fund 3-6 month projects to explore new ideas. One year in, a 'Community expansion' conference reviews the success of the collaborations to date, plans new collaborations, and invites AMR workers from across the UK, and representatives from NHS, Gov and local Gov, to discuss progress.
We will hold monthly meetings on particular AMR topics for smaller sub-groups within NAMRA. We will develop a Cognitive Computing facility to identify the knowledge gaps and possible fruitful areas of collaboration, working alongside the Steering Committee which performs its own assessment. We will also work hard to ensure that, after the two years of funding for NAMRA expires, we can sustain the network. Measures to do this include offering support, training and guidance:
-to ensure that interdisciplinary researchers do not 'fall into the cracks' between disciplines when publishing or applying for grants;
-to team-build an exhibit for public display on AMR, covering such issues as handwashing, biofilms and the use of antibiotics;
-identify and apply for sources of funding to continue their collaborations (incl. peer-reviewing proposals);
-to communicate their work to the public, via websites, school visits, Science Fairs;
-to the next generation of leaders in AMR.
The project ends with a 'Way Ahead' conference to ensure the good work continues after this funding ceases.

Planned Impact
The impact of effectively addressing AMR will be the avoidance of catastrophes in healthcare and food production. Its importance is widely recognized: the World Economic Forum suggested that AMR be added to the global risk register, and the World Health Organization has highlighted the serious implications for global public health, and the Dept Heath/DEFRA, "UK Five Year Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy 2013 to 2018" (Crown Copyright 2013) states: "There are few public health issues of greater importance than antimicrobial resistance (AMR).... AMR cannot be eradicated but a multidisciplinary approach involving a wide range of partners will limit the risk of AMR and minimise its impact for health ".
This last point is crucial: involving Engineering and Physical Science (EPS) researchers is seen by Dept Health & DEFRA as key. The goal of NAMRA is to become the first port-of-call for UK Gov concerning AMR. This requires NAMRA to present a coordinated, comprehensive, expert and visionary view, and to have established excellence in rigour and communication. Ensuring this will be the priority role of the PI.
It will be helped by the membership of NAMRA members on key advisory bodies. NAMRA includes:
-Chief Scientific Adviser for the Food Standards Agency
and members of:
-NICE committee developing draft guidance on 'Antimicrobial resistance: changing risk-related behaviours'
-HTA funding committee 2014 themed call for trials of interventions to reduce AMR
-2014 Longitudinal Prize Panel for new clinical tests to reduce use of antibiotics
-3 members (incl. PI) of Working Group of the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Sub Group
-invitee, WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply & Sanitation Task Force Meeting on Methods'
-Member of the Chatham House Working Group on Antibiotic Delinkage
-European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, part of the working group that developed the 2014 International Clinical Guidelines.
Contact has already been made with of the UK Gov Chief Medical Officer/Chief Scientific Adviser (CMO/CSA) and they have visited the University to discuss CJD and Ebola.
NAMRA is well placed to provide advice to these bodies, and to access UK Gov priorities so that its work can be steered towards the needs of DEFRA, Dept. Health, and the Office of the CMO/CSA. Furthermore NAMRA membership includes excellent examples of taking fundamental discoveries through to impact. Taking just the PI's award-winning StarStream as an example, it:
-has already accrued excellent preliminary results in AMR (incl. biofilms), sufficient for manufacturers and industry users to conduct their own independent tests (www.ultrawave.co.uk/starstream-1000-times-more-effective-than-water.html)
-one potential pump priming project will be to test this in conjunction with surfaces that inhibit bacterial growth and resilient biofilm formation, leading to enhanced horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance genes between species in intimate contact, with applications in hospitals and food processors
-in NAMRA we have members in the University Hospital (Sterile Service, urology etc.) and members who already act as advisors to food retailers, particularly in meat, fish, dairy and poultry, who can advertise the results of a successful pump-priming project, quantify the benefits of adopting technologies, and furthermore inform the committees listed above of actual trial adoption and proven benefits
-and these exciting developments can be communicated to the public via TV & radio (for which StarStream has pedigree: www.southampton.ac.uk/engineering/research/projects/starstream.page?#media), and via the specific Exhibit, Schools, Science Shows and Outreach activities described in the Case for Support.
This route to impact of just one potential 3-month pump priming activity illustrates what the final report might say of the ~20 we will actually fund.

| Company Name | SLOAN WATER TECHNOLOGY LIMITED |
| Description | Sloan Water Technology Limited is based around the patent portfolio of the PI of NAMRIP and founder of Global-NAMRIP, Professor Timothy Leighton FSR FREng FMedSci, which it purchased from the University of Southampton (which owns no part of the company). These patents, and patents developed since the formation of the company, outline a range of devices for cleaning, decontaminating, treating infections, all in a way reduces the use of antimicrobial agents, and improves the environmental footprint over existing technologies (by reducing the use of electricity, water, and additives). Professor Leighton is a Director and Inventor-in-Chief. NAMRA pump-priming funding was used to validate the early prototypes, NAMRIP networking activities having brought together multidisciplinary teams of medics, health scientists, food scientists, microbiologists, engineers and physicists needed to build up the collaborations needed to undertake these validation tasks. |
| Year Established | 2018 |
| Impact | We are currently building devices for two clinical trials. [1] An £817k NIHR-funded clinical trial in which we place (in the middle of 2020) devices in the Sterile Services Departments of a number of NHS hospitals across the UK to check that, using air, water and sound alone, we can replace the current tap/faucet pre-wash of surgical instruments with a wash using our device. If successful, this will reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients and so reduce infections and the need fro antimicrobial agents. [2] We are preparing our devices for MHRA approval for an NIHR-funded (Biomedical Research Centre - funded) clinical trial on the treatment of currently difficult, intractable or incurable wounds. Wound healing will begin in the second half of 2020. |

It was held in Buenos Aires on 10-14 September 2018. The workshop was attended by around 45 academics from Argentina and the UK, as well as representatives from the funding agencies involved in the initiative. It provided opportunities for participants to (i) better understand key challenges around AMR in Argentinian agriculture and more widely, and its impact on the emergence and spread of resistance in the environment that are relevant to other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and (ii) consider the research landscape and relevant expertise available in the UK and Argentina. Cattle feed lotVisiting a cattle feed lot with around 20,000 cows The workshop included site visits to agricultural facilities to help provide participants with some real context behind the key challenges in agricultural/environmental AMR for Argentina that new collaborative research projects could aim to address. The intensive interactive activities provided further opportunities for face-to-face networking and for new UK-Argentina research collaborations to develop. |

| Results and Impact | As part of the University of Southampton's Science and Engineering Day, the full 6 piece NAMRIP exhibit attracted large numbers of visitors throughout the day. While NAMRIP volunteers spoke to adults about the issue of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and the research underway at Southampton to tackle this issue, children played the various games around the AMR theme with great enthusiasm, often returning several times to play the games again. Winchester Science Centre, where the exhibit is on permanent display, transported the exhibit to Southampton for the day. The Science and Engineering Day, an annual event, took place on Saturday 16th March and was attended by over 7000 visitors of all ages and a variety of backgrounds. |

| Results and Impact | Prof Leighton brought his experience and insight on having founded Global-NAMRIP. The issue of antimicrobial resistance had become particularly germane during the COVID-19 pandemic, as had Global-NAMRIP's focus, since its founding, on vaccination and infection prevention in addition to the topics of diagnostic and therapeutics that are more traditionally funded for AMR research. The AMR networks across the UK remain a powerhouse in the battle for good healthcare, secure food and water supplies, and a functioning economy. The inclusion of humanities, engineering and other subjects into a study area (AMR) that used to be thought primarily the reserve of microbiology, healthcare and global health, has been a key feature of this strength. The contribution of the Microbiology Society to ensuring this resource that these networks represent is supported and utilized for the UK, is of national importance. |

| Results and Impact | As part of the Eco Bathrooms project, Charlotte Veal and Paul Hurley created an interactive Bathroom Jungle-themed game, communicating some of their work around AMR in the domestic sphere. Aimed at Key Stage two children, the game premiered at Winchester Science Centre during the half term holidays, and engaged hundreds of families in activities and conversations around AMR. Children were taken on a journey through a series of fun challenges - Biofilm Connect Four, Loo Seat Sponge Throw, and Drug Resistance Duck Race - to communicate some of the mechanisms of AMR and to talk to families about their domestic cleaning practices. This is part of the project 'Fighting Superbugs on the Home Front: Becoming an Ecological-Citizen in Your Bathroom', along with Emma Roe, Bill Keevil, Ian Williams, and with Owain Jones from Bath Spa University, exploring how citizens can connect domestic practices to the global threat of AMR. |
