Thanks @davidantibiotic. This is an amazing reference source for researchers working on antimicrobials against Gram-negative bacteria. #AMR

The #AURA2023 report on #AMR is out today, just in time for Antimicrobial Awareness week 18-23 Nov 2023. Take outs: Antibiotic use in Australia is still too high, especially in aged care. Our work on AMR in aged care shows worrying levels of resistance unisa.edu.au/media-centre/Re….

Phone Bacteria How dirty is your phone? It was fun to look at the microbes present on the phone of @Amelia__Moseley from Behind the News on #ABCme who is one of the ~45% of people regularly browsing on her phone in the toilet. Luckily no poo particles.🧫 abc.net.au/btn/high/phone-ba…

#Antibiotic R&D pipeline remains insufficient to tackle the growing spread of #AntibioticResistance & #access to treatments is still a challenge...😔 Latest @WHO report highlighting the progress but also the remaining gaps 👇 who.int/news/item/15-05-2023… #PowerOfAntibiotics

Training and capacity building in Fiji on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. It was such a pleasure to work with these lovely and diverse group of people and support their fight against #AMR using #EUCAST guidelines as part of the EMAR project.

It was a great opportunity to present our work on #AMR in #AgedCare at the #AMRSummitSA today and to meet and talk to so many interested in combating AMR. Thank you @nadinehillock for the lovely photos.

I just saw this powerful and deeply moving documentary on the devastating effect of #AMR in ADL. Thank you @dianeshadersmth for sharing this and raising awareness. You are right: so many deaths due to AMR are not attributed as such - hence the silent pandemic.

.@SaltInMySoulDoc is an important & powerful story that demonstrates the devastating impact of #AMR. BNE saw Dr. Richard Alm @CARB_X, @dianeshadersmth, @mark_blaskovich @IMBatUQ, Dr. Maud Eijkenboom @LIXA_biotech, @AAMRNet_ co-chair @DrewaBow share insights. ADL, MEL & SYD next!

In spite of the global crisis of #AMR, another pharmaceutical company abandons antibacterial drug development. We need alternative models to fund such programs and support for researchers at academic institutions working on anti-bacterials.
Johnson & Johnson stops development of all antibacterial programs. Sigh! J&J developed Levaquin, bedaquiline, and several other life-saving antibiotics. Obviously this happens because they can't make money on antibiotics. Thi…lnkd.in/eSQgfX-t lnkd.in/eK-3RuP4

Drug efflux pumps play an important role in #AMR by causing multidrug- and biocide resistance. Our newest study on #DrugDiscovery yielded compounds that can reverse resistance to #antibiotics and slow the development of antibiotic resistance. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gUsz…
