#antibiotics — Public Fediverse posts

God I love my Spanish and Greek friends but like always when I get an infection I need to sit in pain for 2 weeks because doctors in those countries and more fling out #antibiotics like its candy. My mum sick in cancer have to lie in pain as they try to find antibiotics that still works because places like #espana and #greece just hand stuff out like its candy and now strains of bacteria are resistant... Gah!

Antibiotics save millions of American lives every year.

But America's drug companies closed most of the factories that made them.

And now they come from China.

#Antibiotic "megacluster" discovery provides new strategy to fight #superbugs
Most #antibiotics are single bioactive molecules, and some can be thwarted with single mutations. Current situation is dire, discovery not only points to potentially new antibiotic regimen, but also entirely new strategy to once again get ahead in the microbial arms race. Block of #genes that codes for four molecules that appear to work in concert to derail a single essential metabolic pathway.

How #climatechange may increase #antibioticresistance
#Climate boosted #antibiotic resistance among bacteria found in artificially warmed grassland soils, researchers report April 22 in Nature. And as drought strips the soil of moisture, #antibiotics in the environment become concentrated in the little water that remains, encouraging the growth of resistant #microbes, another team reports in the April Nature Microbiology.

"Heavy #antibiotic use creates strong #evolutionary #pressure. When #antibiotics kill #bacteria that are vulnerable to them, the #resistant bacteria are left behind to #survive & #multiply."

He also hinted at a new class of synthetic antibiotics that is in current development at Roche. Hopefully there are many more new antibiotics in the future. (7/7)

#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 💪👩‍🔬.

Um, since cavities haven't been a problem for me (I've had just one), I think I'll switch back to using baking soda and peroxide again (with my own dried mint if I want mintiness).

Some Tom's of Maine toothpaste may be contaminated with #HarmfulBacteria, FDA says

#FDA's warning about multiple types of bacteria and "a black mold-like substance" found in a facility that makes #TomsOfMaine toothpaste has consumers worried about a possible recall.

November 20, 2024

"A recent inspection of a Tom's of Maine facility found 'significant violations' that included different types of bacteria detected in the water and the company's toothpaste, as well as a '#BlackMold-like substance' located behind a water storage tank, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

"The FDA determined the company's response to its findings was 'inadequate' and called for a 'thorough review of all #microbiological hazards,' according to a letter sent by the agency to the brand's parent company, Colgate-Palmolive.

"An inspection in May of a facility in #SanfordMaine, discovered the bacteria #PseudomonasAeruginosa in #water used to manufacture Tom’s Simply White Clean Mint Paste and to clean equipment. The bacteria can cause infections in the blood, lungs and urinary tract, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"The letter also stated that there were multiple incidents of finding a bacteria called #RalstoniaInsidiosa in water in the facility. A third type of bacteria, #ParacoccusYeei, was found in the finished product of the company's Wicked Cool! Anticavity Toothpaste, per the FDA. The type of Paracoccus yeei found can cause infection that may be resistant to #antibiotics.

"An FDA inspector also found 'a black mold-like substance' at the base of a hose reel behind a water storage tank within one foot of stainless-steel pails used to manufacture the toothpaste, according to the letter. 'Powder residues' were also seen in a stainless-steel tray next to a batch of #TomsSillyStrawberryAnticavity toothpaste.

"The company told the FDA that the room was thoroughly cleaned to remove the black substance and the powder residue, but the FDA called for more to be done."
