Vaccines don’t just prevent disease, they also help fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) 💉
By reducing infections, vaccines reduce the need for antibiotics.

New MDR P. aeruginosa analysis: Ceftolozane-tazobactam showed higher cure and lower mortality vs aminoglycosides/polymyxins, with similar outcomes vs ceftazidime-avibactam. Despite newer agents, 30-day mortality remained ~22%. #AMR #ASP #ID doi.org/10.1128/aac....

Microbes in Antarctica survive the freezing and dark winter by living on air New study provides evidence that Antarctic microbes make energy from the air at temperatures as low as -20°C.

Useful reminder we should not underestimate the ingenuity and power of mucrobes: they've had 4 billion years to learn a trick or two

Fish fharms. Seriously people - just stop 😞

Another dimension of the ecological disaster for #LoughNeagh - the expansion of #AMR is a threat to people and animals globally. All the more devastating because it’s spread is heavily assisted by animal agriculture- and therefore avoidable ⬇️

Alongside the resistance genes, markers of human, cow and pig faeces were detected in the water—sewage and livestock slurry create ideal conditions for superbugs.
