This World Environment Day, we’re reminded that environmental resilience depends on what we choose to monitor, understand, and act on.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is not only a healthcare challenge. It is also an environmental challenge.

Water ecosystems can carry important signals about how resistance genes move through communities, industries, agriculture, and the wider environment. By monitoring these signals, decision-makers can better understand risks, support evidence-based policies, and protect both environmental and public health.

At Resistomap, we help make AMR visible in water environments, turning complex microbial data into actionable insights for a safer and more resilient future.

Because protecting the environment also means understanding the invisible risks within it.

60 Countries. One Mission.

We’ve now analysed over 34,000 environmental samples from 60 countries, with Ghana marking the newest addition to our growing global map of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Each sample helps reveal how AMR genes and microbial threats move through water ecosystems, providing critical insights to support earlier detection, stronger surveillance, and smarter interventions worldwide.

🌍 Africa: 14
🌏 Asia: 16
🌍 Europe: 21
🌎 North America: 3
🌎 South America: 4
🌏 Oceania: 2

As AMR continues to pose a growing global health threat, environmental monitoring plays an important role in understanding where resistance is emerging and how it spreads.

The BBC’s latest reporting is a reminder that recognising more river swimming sites is only one part of the story.

It is an important step for transparency and public access. But many designated bathing sites still carry “don’t swim” advice because of pollution concerns.

So the question is not only: Can we swim here?
It is also: What is the water system telling us?

Traditional bathing-water indicators are essential, but they do not capture every biological pressure moving through wastewater, rivers, and receiving waters.

One of those pressures is antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

At Resistomap, we help water utilities, researchers, and decision-makers turn AMR monitoring into practical intelligence for:
• Early detection
• Hotspot tracking
• Treatment-performance evaluation
• Catchment-level risk understanding
• Regulatory readiness

As rivers become part of public life again, we need monitoring systems that reflect the complexity of modern water risks.

Dr. Windi Muziasari joins the panel “Wastewater Surveillance: A One Health Perspective” at the 5th Istanbul International Water Forum, contributing to the discussion on how wastewater-environmental monitoring can help trace risks from source to treatment and into the wider environment.

At Resistomap, the focus is on advancing antimicrobial resistance ( ) monitoring through wastewater-based approaches that enable early warning, trace risks across systems, and support data-driven decision-making in public health, environmental protection, and water reuse.

The session brings together experts across sectors to explore how the One Health approach can be operationalised at scale.

Earth Day is a reminder that environmental protection is directly linked to public health 🌍

The systems that sustain our planet, including water, also shape how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spreads. Often, this happens long before it becomes visible. Understanding these connections is key to protecting ecosystems and people.

Exciting news: Resistomap has been selected for the Imagine H2O Asia Accelerator ✨

Chosen from 220+ global applicants, we’re proud to join a cohort of water innovators working to advance smarter, more actionable environmental intelligence for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring in water environments.

Asia is already a key region in our work, and we look forward to deepening collaboration with partners, customers, and fellow innovators across the region.

We’re also excited to be in Singapore this June for Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) and to connect with the wider water innovation ecosystem.

We’re excited to share that our collaboration with Takara Bio is officially live.

By combining SmartChip high-throughput qPCR technology with Resistomap’s analytics platform, we are making environmental antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance more scalable and standardised, while offering a flexible approach:

1️⃣ Send your water samples or extracted DNA and receive comprehensive AMR data and insights from Resistomap
2️⃣ Implement the SmartChip Biosecurity Platform to perform high-throughput AMR analysis within your own lab

The goal is to enable more accessible and cost-effective AMR monitoring as environmental surveillance becomes increasingly important.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wastewater: reduced, not removed.

Wastewater treatment reduces AMR signals, but it does not eliminate them. This brief highlights how resistance can persist and move into the environment.
