A new paper modeled the impact that various climate change scenarios could have on fungal pathogens and patients in Europe. Under one scenario, Aspergillus fumigatus could increase by 77.5% and potentially expose 9 million people in Europe #AMR.

Artificial intelligence may be the tool humanity needs to turn the tables on #AMR. But will unfavorable market conditions and lack of R&D investment limit the ability of researchers to advance #AI-driven discoveries into the clinic and toward patients?

Interesting study out of @RutgersU showing that ciprofloxacin can throw E. coli into an energy crisis that saves many cells from death and speeds the evolution of full-blown resistance. #AMR

The fungal crisis is here and desperately needs addressing: A quick assessment of the armamentarium of antifungal agents shows just how underprepared countries are. fungal infections receive less than 1.5% of all infectious disease research funding #AMR.
