Did you know that phages are the most abundant organism on earth? IOI scientists are creating a public phage library to target drug-resistant bacteria. Our goal is to transform them into easy-to-use and low-cost alternatives to combat AMR. Learn more ➡️ https://t.co/pi5ByiB53N

Latest from the lab, driven by Lizzie Ledger. Crossover in antibiotic resistance activity between oxacilin and daptomycin. …. All roads may lead to Rome in some places but for S. aureus they all lead to Agr activity!! https://t.co/PjoYqv4yS3

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bacteraemia and infections caused by methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) are especially challenging to treat. MRSA strains are resistant to front-line...

Our recent study found that bacteria isolated from flies collected from hospital wards carried clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance genes, + blaNDM and MecA & could pose potential threats to patients. @IneosOxford
@MedResFdn_AMR @WHO @AfricaCDC

The dissemination of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria by flies in hospitals is concerning as nosocomial AMR infections pose a significant threat to public health. This threat is compounded in...
