We're using laser ablation mass spectrometry to understand how trace metals are distributed by the immune system during infection. This powerful analytical technique uses a laser beam to examine the elemental composition of solid samples. #WAAW #AMR

Salma was 18 when she lost a childhood friend and close relative to AMR and pneumonia. This motivated her to pursue a research career. Salma’s project is investigating resistance to zinc toxicity in S. pneumoniae. #WAAW #AntimicrobialResistance

🔬Chloe’s research will improve our understanding of the host-pathogen interface and investigate how we can harness these molecular processes to restore the efficacy of antibiotics. #WorldPneumoniaDay #EveryBreathCounts #DiscoveryResearch #AMR

The CARB-X Team are developing a world-first treatment for antibiotic-resistant bacterial pneumonia. PBT2 breaks resistance by harnessing the body’s own zinc to intoxicate the bacterium, restoring the efficacy of frontline antibiotics and protecting these life-saving drugs. 💊
