Im Kampf gegen #Antibiotikaresistenzen werden dringend Wirkstoffe mit neuartigem Wirkmechanismus benötigt. Die Substanz #Saarvienin A, die Forscher:innen vom @helmholtz_hips & @univienna entdeckt haben, ist ein vielversprechender Kandidat dafür. #AMR

#Phages (viruses that kill bacteria) are considered a potential approach to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, they don't always deliver the desired results on their own. A research team at #CharitéBerlin has now demonstrated that combining phages with an antibiotic is much more effective, at least in the lab, against a form of #pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria .

#Phagen – also Viren, die Bakterien abtöten – sind ein möglicher Ansatz gegen multiresistente Erreger. Sie allein zeigen aber nicht immer die erhoffte Wirkung. Ein Forschungsteam der #CharitéBerlin belegt jetzt: Kombiniert man Phagen mit einem Antibiotikum, hilft das im Labor viel besser gegen eine Form der Lungenentzündung mit multiresistenten Bakterien .

Apparently the #antimicrobialResistance community found #Buzzfeed.

Nearly 25% of this list about "#Health 'Lies'" is #AMR ranting.

"Experts say this new study highlights a more than tenfold increase in AMR-related infections in children in just three years."

The pathogen #Candida tropicalis is increasingly resistant to azole #antifungals. Although C. tropicalis was thought to be diploid, this study shows that a widely used agricultural #fungicide generates haploid cells that are cross-resistant to antifungal drugs #AMR @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3RAckqM

Our latest preprint validates two low-cost global #risk reduction stimuli .

Oilivia Parlow was a great advisee!

75% of clinicians see inappropriate antibiotic prescribing as driven (in part) by delays in processing diagnostic tests or cultures.

This perception was 30% more prevalent in #PrimaryCare than #Hospitals (N = 180).

Hello, Fediverse! We are Bianor Biotech, a technology-based company that emerged from the University of León. The company was promoted by the Department of Molecular Biology (Cellular Biology) professors and INDEGSAL (https://fediscience.org/@indegsal), F. Martínez-Pastor and B. Martín-Fernández.
At Bianor Biotech, we specialize in reproductive biology, particularly sperm analysis. Our unique expertise lies in sperm chromatin analysis, which is crucial for clinics and companies in the livestock and animal breeding sector.
We are currently participating in the H2020 NeoGiANT project (https://neogiant.eu), which is researching ways to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal reproduction. We are excited to share our progress with you.
We are also on Bluesky, LinkedIn and https://bianorbiotech.es

Antibiotikaresistenz bei gramnegativen Erregern: Einsendungen & Nachweise von Carbapenemasen steigen. Die Folge sind u.a. drastisch weniger Therapieoptionen #AMR.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem. Can ‘bacteria-eaters’ help? A research team at #ChariteBerlin has now succeeded in training bacteriophages – viruses that ‘eat’ bacteria – in such a way that they can better combat the pathogen P. aeruginosa even behind its protective shield, the biofilm.

https://www.charite.de/en/research/paper_spotlight/2024/new_findings_on_bacteria_eaters/

Because #PhageTherapy is still in its infancy: Please use #antibiotics cautiously!

Antibiotikaresistente Bakterien sind ein zunehmendes Problem. Können „Bakterienfresser“ hier helfen? #ChariteBerlin-Forschenden ist es jetzt gelungen, Bakteriophagen – also Viren, die Bakterien „fressen“ – so zu trainieren, dass sie den Erreger P. aeruginosa hinter seinem Schutzschild, dem Biofilm, besser bekämpfen können.

Weil die #Phagentherapie aber noch in den Kinderschuhen steckt: #Antibiotika bitte umsichtig verwenden!

It runs every year from 18~24 November.

The @EUCommission has launched a #Fortnite campaign about Antimicrobial Resistance, the danger of bacteria and viruses becoming resistant against treatments.
I'm slightly surprised, but... it's not a bad idea!

#Introduction time again, having moved instance.

Hi! I'm David, and I work in #Scotland (Kingdom of Fife) as an #NHS doctor specialising in #Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

I have an interest in antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) and antibiotic stewardship, and I run our local #OPAT service, where we deliver daily IV antibiotics to patients otherwise well enough to be at home.

Interested in multidisciplinary research into #AMR? Me & Lyras Lab at Monash U, Australia have a #PhDstudentship to study #Cdiff #BugSlayer combining #structuralbiology, #microbiology and #diseasemodels. Deadline 1 July, start Sept 2024 https://shorturl.at/nsMFs Get in touch to know more! Pls spread the word!
