Thanks @davidantibiotic. This is an amazing reference source for researchers working on antimicrobials against Gram-negative bacteria. #AMR.
If you are interested in learning about the 40+ antimicrobial agents active against Gram negative bacilli and currently in clinical trials, please see here:.@AMRActionFund #IDtwitter.

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.🧫.

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…

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.

Well done Yu! You did an amazing job describing your work on the identification and characterisation of a novel carbapenemase. We are so proud of you.🤗.
I am so glad I came to BacPath and given this opportunity to share my work. It’s been fantastic talking to people who loves bacteria 😄.
