Development and investment in functional microbiology LIMS is lacking, with most LIMS expensive with little IT support. #SEDRILIMS are working to develop a free LIMS that can be used in #LMICs and can also help with #AMR surveillance @PaulTurnerMicro #ECCMID23

Representatives from @ACORN_AMR lab teams. Main discussion topics- -high cost of consumables and equipment for LMICs -supply chain issues- usually >6mths for consumables to arrive -short expiry dates for consumables -no maintenance plans in donor agreements -sustainability #AMR
