Bacterial #AntibioticResistance is not only a property of individual bacteria. This study shows that it can also be a property of whole bacterial communities in which resistant and sensitive bacteria grow in specific spatial arrangements. https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2417065122?af=R

Hope we have a chance to overcome #AntibioticResistance

It’s not a panacea, but it brigs hope.

War-torn Ukraine has become a breeding ground for lethal drug-resistant bacteria

Now deep into its third year, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has become a breeding ground for bacteria that can withstand the world’s most potent antibiotics. “It’s eye-opening just how incredibly resistant some of the bacteria coming out of Ukraine are. I haven’t seen anything like it,” says Jason Bennett, director of the Multidrug-Resistant Organism Repository and Surveillance Network at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR).

Ringing alarm bells the loudest is Klebsiella pneumoniae, a pathogen that globally causes one in five deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Disease detectives have cultured hypervirulent Klebsiella from Ukrainian casualties, including strains described in a paper in the December issue of the Journal of Infection that are pandrug resistant—in other words, no single antibiotic can vanquish them.

Global Threat of #AntibioticResistance
Health experts, gathering at UN, have begun to shift their focus to try to provide access to basic drugs in countries where preventable deaths from #infections occur too frequently.
For over decade, #antimicrobialresistance has been framed as a problem of excess. Willy-nilly consumption of #antibiotics, scientists said, have rendered drugs less effective, leading to the unnecessary death of millions, many poor

Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem: More than 70 percent of hospital-acquired bacterial infections in the United States are resistant to at least one type of antibiotic. @KnowableMag reports on new twist on an old technique for addressing this that’s getting a second look: phage steering, where viruses trap bacteria in an evolutionary dilemma. Here’s more.
