The Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring, Analysis & Diagnostics Alliance is the first-ever system to track & fingerprint antibiotic resistant bacteria in real-time
Bill Pullman, Hollywood Actor, ARMADA Spokesperson and Advisory Board Member urges the public to join ARMADA in the battle against antibiotic resistance. Learn more about at: https://t.co/JcdDwIN6OP #BeatSuperbugs#antibioticresistance#AMR#antibiotics#superbugs
The perfect storm - COVID-19 underscores the need to be prepared for the next pandemic, and the pressing need for vaccines, diagnostics, antibiotics and other therapeutics to address bacterial infections and AMR. https://t.co/0ZX91GiBO9
Our friends @PeggyFund are hosting a webinar on 7/28 at 7 pm ET: "Antibiotics, Probiotics & Antibiotic Stewardship in SARS-COV 2 ERA." Be sure to register! https://t.co/Oavl9N8JFw #AntibioticResistance
"Experts now believe that the spread of drug-resistant bacteria is probably the single greatest threat to society – greater even than the dangers posed by global terrorism, climate change and anything you’ll see at the cinema." https://t.co/Q2SMiCm2je #AntibioticResistance
I am grateful that patients with chronic diseases are increasingly concerned about the threat of drug-resistant infections. People with cancer, diabetes, kidney & heart disease, and surgical patients et al NEED the protection afforded by antibiotics if they develop an infection
"@WHO has issued guidance to medics urging them not to provide antibiotic treatment to patients w/ mild Covid-19, & has emphasised the need for proper assessment & diagnostic testing where available before antibiotic use in moderate & severe cases." https://t.co/GPHRBeEUR1
WHO warns overuse of antibiotics for #Covid_19 will cause more deaths. Just as #socialdistancing is a powerful strategy against the spread of Covid-19, #AntibioticStewardship is essential to controlling the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria. #AMR https://t.co/i5tiU85s7E
ARMADA’s founder, Dr. Evgeni Sukurenko, will discuss “SARS-CoV-2 Biology—Why So Nasty?” as part of AAMS #COVID19 CME Expert Webinar Series tonight at 7pmPST. #CMEcredit is available.

This is pretty cool: "This study provides that essential stepping stone which we hope will lead to both a better understanding of how antibiotics work & to the future development of new approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance." https://t.co/AMDMXjx0Pv #AntibioticResistance
"In fact, a recent study published in The Lancet found that 10% of coronavirus patients (more than 1/3 of which were admitted to the ICU), had secondary infections." https://t.co/otJA6bE6ht #AntibioticResistance
What will the surging use of #antibiotic treatment for #COVID19 complications mean for resistant bacteria? We are, unfortunately, beginning to find out.

#Antibioticresistance remains a lurking threat in the #COVID19 pandemic, as bacteria take advantage of patients’ virus-weakened immune systems.

#AntibioticResistance could become an enormous force of additional sickness and death across our health system as the toll of #COVID19 stretches critical care units beyond their capacity, @Merck’s Julie Gerberding writes. https://t.co/UDp7hVR5dV
“In outbreaks [like #COVID19] you still need essential medicines like antibiotics,” @gardp_amr’s @Manica_amr explains, noting that patients are at greater risk for bacterial infections when they have weakened immune systems. https://t.co/l1lqmYifJH
New report from @WHO brings together the latest evidence on the different ways to tackle the complex problem of #antimicrobialresistance. https://t.co/R3q4JlLypl
If today’s medical news teaches us one thing, it’s that we desperately need to update our diagnostic tools to better serve patients & the public.

Americans combat more than 2.8 million #antibiotic-resistant infections each year—a battle cystic fibrosis patient and advocate Gunnar Esiason knows all too well. https://t.co/8MQrYU2ixt @G17Esiason@pewhealth@cysticfibrosis
“Some 700,000 people die each year because medicines that once cured their conditions are no long effective.”
We need new ways to fight
