The rise of antifungal resistance Antifungal resistance affects fewer people than antibacterial resistance, but its effects are generally more catastrophic.

The return of #TheLastOfUs has us thinking about fungal threats, but are we prepared for the real-world challenge of antifungal resistance?

Evolving clinical practice to curb antimicrobial resistance Approximately one third of antimicrobial prescriptions in Australia are considered unnecessary and contribute to the spread of AMR. Improved clinical prescribing is crucial to addressing this issue.

AI could be a game-changer for antibiotic drug development AI Machine Learning could potentially unblock the antimicrobial drug development pipeline.

AI Machine Learning could potentially unblock the antimicrobial drug development pipeline and help us find the antibiotic needle in the haystack.

Is climate change exacerbating AMR? Higher temperatures, flooding and other natural disasters have implications for AMR.

Extreme weather events significantly influence the movement of bacteria and viruses, contributing to the development and spread of #AMR. Increased flooding and climate-driven migration could accelerate this threat.

Why don’t we know the exact death toll of AMR in Australia? Knowing the exact death toll of antimicrobial resistance is tricky but essential.

While the mortality rates of cancers and heart disease are critical drivers of funding, prevention programs and advocacy, #AMR mortality remains a trickier proposition, in #Australia at least.

The deadliest beings on the planet: can the bacteriophage help in our fight against superbugs? Antimicrobial resistance threatens many of the gains of modern medicine, making even routine surgery much riskier. Some scientists believe phages, lurking in every corner of the planet, offer hope

A fantastic article by writer @drjr.bsky.social today in the @australia.theguardian.com explores the value of #phage in tackling antimicrobial resistance #AMR.

Highly recommended reading!

Antibiotic emergency ‘could claim 40 million lives in next 25 years’ As superbugs spread across the globe, death rates from antimicrobial resistance are set to double, says England’s former chief medical officer

“Bacteria take about 20 minutes to multiply. They also mutate a great deal... [and] they can pass that on to any bacteria with which they make contact.”
