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

#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 👇

Antibiotic-resistant infections caused 5 million deaths in 2019. In 2020, hospital-onset #AMR infections and deaths jumped 15%. In 2023, superbug outbreaks have gripped our attention. The time to act is now @CentreImpactAMR @WHO workingtofightamr.org/2023/0…

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.

@LabVenter look at how biocides contribute to the development of #AMR. New PhD student Owen will work on the formulation of responsible cleaning products with a lower risk for #AMR development. Huge thanks to @DIIS_SA, @MTPConnect_AUS, @UniversitySA, @sachiefsci and Hygiene Co.

Congratulations Dr Anteneh Amsalu Geremew on obtaining your #PhD on #AMR pathogens from @UniversitySA. 🎉
It was such a priviledge to share this journey with you and to see this thoughtful and promising young man develop into a confident and very capable scientist.

#MicrobeoftheMonth! Can you guess who I am?
1) I have a sweet, grape-like aroma.
2) Most of the time, I don't cause problems—but I can infect everything from the blood to the lungs.
3) I'm known for my sticky biofilms.
Leave a guess below & stay tuned for the big reveal!

Thanks again to @mahjabeenkhan58 for snapping these great photos. Antimicrobial Resistance is such an important and truly interesting research topic.

Thank you so much @mahjabeenkhan58. It was good to see #AMR feature so strongly at #2022ASM #AUSSOCMIC. Nice also to see some photos of my talk as I forgot to take some. 🤗

A picture to warm a supervisor's heart. It is so nice when post-grad students befriend each other, support one another, and work together towards a common goal. @Yang99887766, @ann_hahahah, and @sida0323 from @LabVenter are hard at work to combat #AMR. 🥰

This is evolution on steroids!
Scientists found a colistin resistance gene in Pseudomonas that mutate 1000x faster than other genes.

Antimicrobial-resistant infections killed an estimated 4·95 million people in 2019. This is a silent pandemic, one that does not attract much attention or research money. #AMR
