Today's #Mondayread from BMC's Tropical Medicine & Health highlights the need for a global #AMR response that includes everyone. 🌍👏 Let's work together to ensure equal access to effective treatments & protect #HealthForAll ➡️bit.ly/3NLAz4B #InclusionMatters

The UN predicts a sharp rise in deaths from drug-resistant infections by 2050. #AMR is not a future risk, it's a present-day crisis disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Join us in spreading awareness and advocating for urgent action. 🔷 #AMResistanceFighters

#AntimicrobialResistance isn't just about bacteria becoming resistant to #antibiotics, it's also about fungi becoming resistant to antifungal drugs Infections caused by fungi, such as the yeast #CandidaAuris, are a growing problem theconversation.com/how-do-candida… #AMR #RapidAST

“Momentum is finally changing in the fight against #AMR. However, momentum alone cannot solve the problem,” writes John Alter in AMR DECLARATION’s new e-book No Option. "To reverse course and meaningfully address the grim statistics that are a hallmark of AMR, we need to take

This month's choice for Microbe of the Month is #MycobacteriumUlcerans This bacterium causes a skin infection called Buruli ulcer, treated with weeks of #antibiotics sciencedirect.com/science/articl… In Australia, it has previously been known as #BairnsdaleUlcer or #DaintreeUlcer

Cytophenix’s AI-driven tech, powering rapid tests to guide antibiotic choices in life-threatening infections, has caught the attention of the 2023 #WAInnovatorOfTheYear Awards #WAIOTY #UWAinnovation #ForrestResearchFoundation #HarryPerkinsInstituteOfMedicalResearch #PathWest

"Recently, I treated a 58-year-old Black patient on dialysis. While waiting for a kidney transplant, he developed a MRSA bloodstream infection leading to a brain stroke. Eventually, he lost his life to kidney disease, worsened by #AMR." We must do better. buffalonews.com/opinion/anothe…

Cytophenix, & the rapid test we're developing, are featured in Business News, sharing our success with CUREator, the national biotech incubator program run by #BrandonBiocatalyst, funded by the Australian government's Medical Research Future Fund & #CSIRO businessnews.com.au/article/Federa…

In this OWOH #podcast, Ana Alastruey Izquierdo of Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) explains the dangers of #fungaldiseases, how they become resistant to treatment & how #climatechange and inapproriate use of #antifungals make infections more common & deadly. Listen here: onehealthtrust.org/news-media/pod…

Infections caused by fungi are less common than those by bacteria, but often harder to treat & devastating Making matters worse is that lab tests which guide the choice of antifungal treatment, aren't very good We need better, rapid #AntifungalSusceptibilityTests #rapidAST

Dr Kieran Mulroney, a Cytophenix Founder, was featured recently in Particle, describing his journey from mature-age student to inventing rapid tests that help choose the right antibiotic to treat life-threatening infections particle.scitech.org.au/people/mature-… #SciTech #AMR #AST #rapidAST

Picture perfect day as #Cytophenix team members depart Perth for Brisbane Cytophenix is taking part in #CSIRO's flagship innovation program, #ONAccelerate, with our #rapidAST that gets the right #antibiotics to patients sooner A fantastic few days ahead, off to a flying start!

Day 3 of #CSIRO's #ONAccelerate program, jam-packed with brilliant content helping #Cytophenix commercialise our rapid test that guides decisions about the best #antibiotics to treat serious life-threatening infections #RapidAntimicrobialSusceptibilityTest

Massive week in Brisbane for the #Cytophenix team at the #CSIRO #ONAccelerate Immersion event So many new ideas to consider, as we continue our journey to save lives by bringing new rapid diagnostics for antibiotic-resistant infections to the world #AntimicrobialResistance

If you think #AntimicrobialResistance won't affect you, think again! Infections are caused by bacteria Bacteria are killed by antibiotic drugs - unless the bacteria have developed resistance to the antibiotics... & then there is nothing to stop the infection which can be deadly

#Sepsis is the life-threatening infection that you've never heard of, that must be urgently treated with #antibiotics to survive The antibiotics that treat sepsis work for now, but are increasingly compromised by the problem of #AntimicrobialResistance croakey.org/sepsis-a-survi…

Cytophenix’s diagnostic test FloCAST is being developed to help address one of the biggest, most urgent problems facing humans: #AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) Unchecked AMR will cause major economic damage at local, regional & global levels, across all economic sectors

"You are a key stakeholder to help preserve these life-saving medicines" Listen to Vanessa's story about #DrugResistantInfections that can happen to anyone, & the #antibiotics we need to keep working for everyone youtu.be/GUw6fRhwt3Y?fe… #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance
