New data released today in @TheLancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050.

Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action.

Here’s to the first of many 👏🏻🤙🏻

My first paper is now live on Microbial Genomics! 🦠 Discover the prevalence of key virulence factors of #Aeromonas caviae from #gastroenteritis patients compared to strains from non-human sources https://t.co/E503fZnCxg @UNSWScience @UNSWBABS @MicrobioSoc

The research, led by @UNSWBABS A/Prof. Li Zhang, analysed 775,559 UTI samples from across New South Wales to assess how local antibiotic resistance was impacting UTI treatment.

The results provide valuable insights for medical professionals to effectively manage UTIs.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli from aged care facilities show higher antibiotic resistance to trimethoprim – the standard UTI treatment in Australia – compared to cases from hospitals and the wider community, @UNSW research has found.

My first publication on the pathogenic effects of
#Campylobacter concisus on gastric epithelial cells! Truly fascinating how this oral commensal bacterium can promote inflammation when given the opportunity.🦠
