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.
Aleks Engel@AleksEngel

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

Training and capacity building in Fiji on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. It was such a pleasure to work with these lovely and diverse group of people and support their fight against #AMR using #EUCAST guidelines as part of the EMAR project.

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.

#MicrobeoftheMonth! Can you guess who I am? 1) I have a sweet, grape-like aroma. 2) Most of the time, I don't cause problems—but I can infect everything from the blood to the lungs. 3) I'm known for my sticky biofilms. Leave a guess below & stay tuned for the big reveal!

Antimicrobial-resistant infections killed an estimated 4·95 million people in 2019. This is a silent pandemic, one that does not attract much attention or research money. #AMR The overlooked pandemic of antimicrobial resistance thelancet.com/journals/lance…
