I'm super excited, and really honoured, to be giving the Snowdon Lecture at this years Australian Microbiology Society Meeting! Hopefully see lots of you in Brisbane! 😀🤩
ASM@AUSSOCMIC
We’re excited to announce this year’s Snowden Lecturer, Professor Jessica Blair from the University of Birmingham, UK! She’ll dazzle us with an in-depth look at the accumulation of antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria- you won’t be able to resist!

Thanks @davidantibiotic. This is an amazing reference source for researchers working on antimicrobials against Gram-negative bacteria. #AMR

Our study using ligand- and structure based screening and showing that the cystic fibrosis drug ivacaftor is an AcrB efflux pump inhibitor to combat #AMR is on #MyACSCover. Well done team!

The #AURA2023 report on #AMR is out today, just in time for Antimicrobial Awareness week 18-23 Nov 2023. Take outs: Antibiotic use in Australia is still too high, especially in aged care. Our work on AMR in aged care shows worrying levels of resistance unisa.edu.au/media-centre/R….

MEDIA RELEASE | The Commission has today released Australia's most comprehensive report on antimicrobial use and resistance trends. Find out about potential harms from antibiotics and the ongoing threat of #AMR. Read highlights in the #AURA2023 report. ow.ly/qIGS50Q7f4E

NEW DATA | Last year 21.8 million antimicrobial prescriptions were dispensed in Australia.
Our latest report on #antimicrobial use and resistance highlights why all Australians should care about overuse of #antibiotics.

Phone Bacteria
How dirty is your phone? It was fun to look at the microbes present on the phone of @Amelia__Moseley from Behind the News on #ABCme who is one of the ~45% of people regularly browsing on her phone in the toilet. Luckily no poo particles.🧫

@mark_blaskovich Yes @mark_blaskovich . One can learn a lot from wastewater 😉. Very smart indeed.
We are delighted that our work got some recognition though.

Eye drops recalled after US drug-resistant bacteria outbreak apnews.com/article/new-yo…
P. aeruginosa is #AMR against many antibiotics and can cause serious infections when found in pharmaceuticals such as eye drops. Read more about this superbug at: venterlab.org/2021/06/28/spo…

#Antibiotic R&D pipeline remains insufficient to tackle the growing spread of #AntibioticResistance & #access to treatments is still a challenge...😔
Latest @WHO report highlighting the progress but also the remaining gaps 👇

@nadinehillock This was so interesting regarding antibiotic use from Prof David Gordon: Shorter is better.
English
Funny! Most antibiotic courses are multiples of ‘Constantine units’ simply because one week is arbitrarily 7 days long!

It was a great opportunity to present our work on #AMR in #AgedCare at the #AMRSummitSA today and to meet and talk to so many interested in combating AMR.
Thank you @nadinehillock for the lovely photos.

I just saw this powerful and deeply moving documentary on the devastating effect of #AMR in ADL. Thank you @dianeshadersmth for sharing this and raising awareness. You are right: so many deaths due to AMR are not attributed as such - hence the silent pandemic.
AAMRNet@AAMRNet_
.@SaltInMySoulDoc is an important & powerful story that demonstrates the devastating impact of #AMR. BNE saw Dr. Richard Alm @CARB_X, @dianeshadersmth, @mark_blaskovich @IMBatUQ, Dr. Maud Eijkenboom @LIXA_biotech, @AAMRNet_ co-chair @DrewaBow share insights. ADL, MEL & SYD next!

@LabVenter look at how biocides contribute to the development of #AMR. New PhD student Owen will work on the formulation of responsible cleaning products with a lower risk for #AMR development. Huge thanks to @DIIS_SA, @MTPConnect_AUS, @UniversitySA, @sachiefsci and Hygiene Co.
English
In spite of the global crisis of #AMR, another pharmaceutical company abandons antibacterial drug development. We need alternative models to fund such programs and support for researchers at academic institutions working on anti-bacterials.

Johnson & Johnson stops development of all antibacterial programs. Sigh! J&J developed Levaquin, bedaquiline, and several other life-saving antibiotics. Obviously this happens because they can't make money on antibiotics. Thi…lnkd.in/eSQgfX-t lnkd.in/eK-3RuP4

Great work by @Yang99887766 from @LabVenter. Well done Yang 🌟
Thanks also to our medicinal chemistry collaborators, Ting Guo et al from the lab of Ma Shutao at Shandong Unversity.

Drug efflux pumps play an important role in #AMR by causing multidrug- and biocide resistance. Our newest study on #DrugDiscovery yielded compounds that can reverse resistance to #antibiotics and slow the development of antibiotic resistance.

Together we achieve better.
Congratulations to @LabVenter's amazing 2 @UniofAdelaide Masters of Biotechnology students @sida0323 and @HanbiaoChen on passing their degrees with flying colours with projects on #AMR @UniversitySA.
