The Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center fights "superbugs" by tracking them, figuring out how they work, preventing their spread, and finding ways to kill them.

Thrilled to be part of this effort!
The Weiss Lab is HIRING at all levels. Come join us to study heteroresistance and how tiny subpopulations of resistant cells can have huge impacts on treatment outcomes.
Please RT and DM or email if interested.

We agree @Dr_Lori_Burrows. Unfortunately we observed much more heteroresistance than resistance, and in strains with a diversity of metallo-beta-lactamases including NDM1 which is spread globally

This is why we need new targets instead of just endlessly tweaking compounds.

Unfortunately we detected a LOT of heteroresistance to cefepime-taniborbactam among metallo-beta-lactamase encoding CRE (29/34 strains). Worse - most of it undetected by standard testing. Congrats @abbott_carter on your hard work and these important data. Thanks @TheLancetInfDis

New! Gram- cells need lipoproteins to build their surface. LolA & LolB deliver these in E.coli. But many species only have LolA - where's LolB? For Caulobacter, LolB is... LolA! It's a bifunctional protein! We can even tweak E.coli LolA to do double duty! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

It’s true what they say, Atlanta is beautiful in the fall 🍂 🍁 and our chorus aren’t bad either… we’ve been rehearsing for a few days and it promises to be a great show!

Our chorus member @briankhammer was saved by antibiotics when he was a child after developing a serious staphylococcal infection.... Read his story and why he thinks this show is so important. tinyurl.com/az4f4czw #AntimicrobialResistance #musicaltheatre #sciencemeetsart

Fact: Sepsis is a leading cause of death in hospitals, killing nearly 270,000 adults in the U.S. each year. Without new types of #antibiotics that can overcome resistance, that number will only increase. #SepsisAwarenessMonth pew.org/3cRaP7c

On this month's episode of #SuperbugsUnplugged, Dr. Everly Macario shares the harrowing story of losing her young son to an #antibiotic resistant infection. Tune in to hear why reducing antibiotic use is key to saving lives.

I’m so proud of the incredible team effort that went into this manuscript. Congrats to all involved @jake_choby, @tugba6ozturk, @abbott_carter, @SarahSatola.
We hope antibiotic developers will consider #heteroresistance which may save time, $$, and greatly improve efficiency.

“1.27M people are dying of #AMR bacteria per year, as small research teams are breaking up. The intellectual capacity around the world is being diminished. We must replenish the next generation who can develop antibiotics.” - @koutterson @TheHillEvents
