I put together a table with therapeutic options for #COVID19 available in the U.S. Happy to read your comments. I have to say, it is really challenging with so many evidence coming our way.

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Amid all the #COVIDー19 attention, let's not forget about our other infections with significant unmet medical need, like invasive candidiasis!
Poor C. auris!

Just how dry is the #antibiotics pipeline? Great image from @pewhealth demonstrates the dearth of development!

DYK: Of the #antibiotics in development over the past five years, more have been discontinued than approved? https://t.co/QvLuzii9eu

More #AntibioticAwarenessWeek humor! But seriously, always follow your healthcare practitioner's instructions to prevent #AntimicrobialResistance, even if you're a healthcare professional!

Not sure how evidence-based this quiz is, but it's sure a fun way to celebrate #AntibioticAwarenessWeek! Which antibiotic are you??

Great @NPR piece by @rrichardh on new ideas to fight #AntimicrobialResistance: https://t.co/hTX0SAoPGc

Thanks to @SYNBiologics and @IAmBiotech for their dedication to this important topic! #IDtwitter #AntibioticResistance

David Roblin from @Summitplc had us remembering the 90s at #WorldAMRCongress: "We need innovation... in the 90s we could talk directly to physicians." How are new technologies and platforms helping you reach clinicians? #IDtwitter #AntimicrobialResistance #MedEd

[Jeremy Knox @_Jeremy_Knox]

Excellent discussion...

As for the question? We’re increasingly rowing in the same direction, but there’s a long way to go and we might need to think differently about how to get there!

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Jennifer Sanfillippo from @MelintaTx identified a key challenge for the makers of #antibiotics: They've got great products but not enough resources to promote them. Connecting companies and clinicians is what we're all about! #WorldAMRCongress #IDtwitter #AntimicrobialResistance

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Great discussion with @jpogue1, Tom File, and @idpharmd at the #WorldAMRCongress about #antibiotic decision-making. And great shoes, @idpharmd!

[SIDP @SIDPharm]

SIDP President @jpogue1 and @IDSAInfo President Tom File discuss hospital purchasing & antibiotic use with SIDP member @idpharmd at #WorldAMRCongress. Dr. Pogue starts with discussion of susceptibility breakpoints. We must re-evaluate older abx so new agents are fairly compared.

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Reminder from #WorldAMRCongress: Our sole focus should always be the patient! 2-time #sepsis survivor Mary Millard is fighting for more awareness among and education for clinicians. #IDtwitter #AntimicrobialResistance

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Neil Clancy from @PittTweet: "..to achieve diagnostic stewardship and demonstrate value we need to start small, share success stories and educate clinicians so the they can do it themselves.." How are you reaching clinicians? #WorldAMRCongress #IDtwitter #AntimicrobialResistance

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Great insight from Melissa Stundick @Spero_Tx: "..post-approval costs are estimated @ $400M including sales, marketing, and medical affairs.. 7 years before a company can expect to break even.." Time to think about new ways to connect companies and clinicians? #WorldAMRCongress

[Wellspring ID @WellspringID]

Amanda Jesek from @IDSAInfo says, "...the 12,000 members of IDSA want to know about these products..." How are you educating clinicians about your #antibiotic or device? #WorldAMRCongress #WorldAMR #IDtwitter #AntimicrobialResistance
