Antimicrobial resistance #AMR @antimicrobial.bsky.social · 1d

WHO reports 1 in 6 bacterial infections worldwide are antibiotic-resistant, with resistance rising sharply since 2018. Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and K. pneumoniae pose the biggest threat. Action on #AMR surveillance and responsible antibiotic use is needed.

WHO warns of widespread resistance to common antibiotics worldwide

One in six laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections causing common infections in people worldwide in 2023 were resistant to antibiotic treatments, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) r...

Across Southeast Asia most newborn infections are now caused #AMR bugs, making standard treatments for neonatal sepsis ineffective. Without updated, locally informed treatment guidelines and new antibiotic development, infant mortality rates will rise.

Pathogen distribution and antimicrobial resistance among neonatal bloodstream infections in Southeast Asia: results from NeoSEAP, a multicentre retrospective study

Neonatal sepsis in tertiary hospitals in Southeast Asia is predominantly caused by gram-negative bacteria, with high rates of non-susceptibility to commonly prescribed antibiotics.

Large numbers of CDC employees are reportedly terminated during the government shutdown, including senior leaders and critical staff, in what observers describe as a politically motivated effort to weaken the agency. Legal challenges are already underway.

We have breaking news in Inside Medicine.

We had heard rumors of RIFs to CDC.

But this is the first visual confirmation that it has occurred tonight, and at high levels in the agency.

Here is what we know...and then some well-sourced rumors (but rumors, nonetheless, not confirmed) 🧵...

The deadly Klebsiella pneumoniae can resist nearly all antibiotics. Colleagues found a new antibody that blocks its protective coat, helping the immune system clear the infection. This offers hope against the “silent pandemic” of #AMR.

Monoclonal antibodies protect against pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae - Nature

Capsule-specific human monoclonal antibodies are protective against bloodstream infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 in a mouse model of septicaemia, and could provide a useful strategy against pathogens with antimicrobial resistance.
