#antibiotics — Public Fediverse posts

⚛️ Would today’s antibiotics still work if bacterial biology were flipped at the molecular level?

💊 If antibiotic courses tend to be longer (and thus risker) than necessary, whose responsibility is it to shorten them?

🏥 I argue it's not just doctors that have duties to minimize and shorten antibiotic courses. Why? Because antibiotic prescriptions are influenced by events that occur both before and after a doctor decides whether to order #antibiotics.

💊 Rare, but potentially fatal: #WhipplesDisease is a bacterial infection that requires prompt antibiotic treatment. Currently, guidelines recommend infusions in the hospital. But as a #CharitéBerlin study now shows, taking tablets at home is just as effective.

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have combined earlier work on painless #microneedles with #nanoscale #sensors to create a wearable sensor patch capable of continuously monitoring the levels of one of these #antibiotics.

@ottawatts Hi! I'm a #veterinarian with a public health focus, my research area is #antibiotics use and #AntimicrobialResistance. I work with cattle and teach at the vet university in Vienna (#Austria, not Virginia!). In a previous life, I worked in #clinicalresearch for human pharmaceuticals (#medicalwriting). Also a mum of 2 teenagers and proud of their feminist and ecofriendly outlook on life 🥰 #mastodonnewbie

We can use #sewage to track the rise of #antibioticresistant #bacteria
#Wastewater #surveillance helped us track #covid. Now we can use it to tackle the "silent #pandemic."
