  1. 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!

  5. Longitudinal Changes in Clonal Distribution and Fluoroquinolone Resistance of Ocular MRSA.

    #Taiwan #ocular #MRSA shifted from CC59 to drug-resistant CC8, reducing fluoroquinolone efficacy and urging surveillance.

  6. #A I-designed compounds can kill #drugresistant #bacteria
    #MIT team used #artificialintelligence to design novel #antibiotics, two of which showed promise against #MRSA and #gonorrhea
    Drugs are structurally distinct from any existing antibiotics, and appear to work by novel mechanisms that disrupt bacterial cell membranes. This makes them less vulnerable to antibiotic resistance, a growing problem: estimated drug-­resistant bacterial infections cause nearly 5M deaths/yr.

  7. AI develops new antibiotics for treating gonorrhea and MRSA.

    I had hoped that one of the specialists would write about this work, but it was undeservedly overlooked. So, I'll tell you about it myself. Learn more: bbc.com/news/articles/cgr94xxy

  8. Could the Roman Baths help scientists counter the challenge of antibiotic resistance?

    A recent study has revealed a diverse array of microorganisms within the hot waters of the Roman Baths in Bath, UK, which could play a crucial role in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance...

  9. Andrew Jones and Joshua Prince at Duke University developed a model that replicates #PeripherySequestration in #biofilms by accounting for heterogeneity of antibiotic attachment sites and porosity.

    In the image we show how the heterogeneous distribution of the different matrix elements and the #bacteria themselves act as barrier against #antibiotics (in red), hindering their effect.

  10. Filamentous Phage Shields schaechter.asmblog.org/schaech @STCmicrobeblog

    Phage liquid crystalline droplets form occlusive sheaths that encapsulate and protect infectious rod-shaped #bacteria (2020) pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas

    "in #biofilms and due to the presence of #ExtracellularMatrix #polymers, Pf4 #phage particles form highly ordered yet dynamic #LiquidCrystals (tactoids) that surround the cells. Quite interestingly, these #tactoids confer on the cells an increased tolerance to #antibiotics."

  11. #CancerPatients are confronting widespread #shortages of #chemotherapy #drugs
    Doctors, scrambling to find the medications, are having to delay #lifesaving #therapies At the end of last year, there were 295 active medication shortages, ranging from #antibiotics and #anesthetics to #cardiac mediations and chemotherapy drugs, according to a Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs report, hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/up a 30% increase since 2021. washingtonpost.com/health/2023 #medicalemergency
