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.

#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 👇 who.int/news/item/15-0… #PowerOfAntibiotics
Antibiotic-resistant infections caused 5 million deaths in 2019. In 2020, hospital-onset #AMR infections and deaths jumped 15%. In 2023, superbug outbreaks have gripped our attention. The time to act is now @CentreImpactAMR @WHO workingtofightamr.org/2023/04/24/sup…
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.

@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.
Well done to @sida0323 and @fusheng5741 on completing your Masters degrees. As two valued members of the @LabVenter, your contributions this year at @UniversitySA have been stellar!

#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!
Thanks again to @mahjabeenkhan58 for snapping these great photos. Antimicrobial Resistance is such an important and truly interesting research topic.

We love to see it!
This is evolution on steroids! Scientists found a colistin resistance gene in Pseudomonas that mutate 1000x faster than other genes. #AMR #Pseudomonas Localized pmrB hypermutation drives the evolution of colistin heteroresistance cell.com/cell-reports/f…
At the @ASM_SANT_Branch student awards Yu Wang introduced her amazing work on the discovery and characterisation of a novel carbapenemase in a flawless presentation.
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…

Congratulations to the Venter Lab's newest PhD candidate and RTP scholarship recipient Yu Wang. Yu will work with our team to identify and characterise antimicrobial resistance mechanisms on dangerous pathogenic bacteria. We look forward to sharing Yu's findings in the future.
Congratulations to Venter Lab's own Klyie Kelly Foo, who just graduated with a First Class Bachelor of Biomedical Research (Honours)! We are proud of your achievements, and sure to see great things from you in the future.
