If antibiotics aren’t helping, go back to your doctor, don’t wait it out. Use antibiotics only when prescribed, finish the course, don’t save leftovers, and never share them. Smart use = slowing #AMR.

AMR is hitting LMICs hard. But with stronger political commitment, better surveillance, improved WASH and IPC, and sustained investment in stewardship and innovation, these countries could make major progress in containing #AMR.

The fight against AMR will not be won in laboratories alone, but in our shared habits of everyday life. We need infection prevention, vaccination, hand hygiene, and a global culture that values responsibility over convenience and stewardship over complacency.

"Too often #AMR is framed as an immense although conceptually simple challenge: delay resistance to current drugs and produce new drugs. But we need to go beyond this, we need to pull every lever at our disposal to minimise infection even before we turn to drugs."

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.

In a new preprint from @brianhie.bsky.social's lab, the team reports the first generative design of viable bacteriophage genomes.

Leveraging Evo 1 & Evo 2, they generated whole genome sequences, resulting in 16 viable phages with distinct genomic architectures.
