Dual resistance to carbapenems and colistin in Enterobacter: Taiwan surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, 2010–2020 Extensively drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria harbouring dual resistance to carbapenems and colistin represent a critical global health threat. A total of 929 population-representative Enteroba...

Enterobacter species are rising as tough nosocomial pathogens, with bacteremia linked to high mortality. Intrinsic AmpC β-lactamase and widespread fluoroquinolone resistance shrink options, making carbapenems critical.

MHRA-led study reveals major inconsistencies in global microbiome research International collaboration establishes new quality standards to improve reliability of gut health studies – improving accuracy to provide better diagnosis and treatment.

How important is corrrect taxonomy!

Species identification varied from 63% to 100% accuracy across different methods, meaning that some laboratories failed to detect a third of the bacterial species present in the sample

Yes, having a spirit of reconciliation is a way forward. There is hope to mitigate the aggressiveness of those who have not wanted to understand!
Thanks MIRRI @pravrahi.bsky.social & thanks @seqcode.bsky.social for the against-stream efforts! 💪🏽

I believe AI tools have their advantages, but DeepSeek highlights significant limitations, particularly in how AI tools can be used to spread propaganda. We must recognize that human intelligence and rational thinking are still crucial and cannot be replaced by AI. #DeepSeekAI

MIRRI-ERIC's position on the recent evolution of the international code of nomenclature of prokaryotes

In recent discussions, the rules on prokaryotic nomenclature have sparked debate for various reasons. Our team (MIRRI-ERIC) presents a solution to harmonize ICNP and SeqCode, benefiting microbial ecologists and microbiologists alike. read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #nomenclature

10 'superbug' stories from 2024, from bacterial 'Kryptonite' to deep-sea antibiotics Antibiotic and antifungal drug resistance pose a major public health threat. Live Science is covering the spread of this problem and the potential solutions that are emerging in turn.

AMR is a growing global threat to health care, economy and development, making many antibiotics ineffective. Read Live Science's 2024 highlights, from a new drug targeting Acinetobacter baumannii to deep-sea antibiotic discoveries and innovative phage therapy.
