In vitro-in vivo discordance in β-lactams activities against MBL producing Enterobacterales has been described 🔥Deciphering the Efficacy of β-Lactams in the Face of MBL Derived Resistance in Enterobacterales Supraphysiologic Zinc in Broth is the Culprit🔥 academic.oup.com/ofid/article/d…

#IDTwitter I always thought of SUL-DUR as a 🦀 agent only. I’ve yet to see an NDM E. coli w/ PBP3 mutation, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time b4 it pops up in Chicago Good to know that durlobactam may work @OncDPharmd @jpogue1 Ryan Shields doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…






Exciting times! A big paper I was involved in has dropped Nature Microbiology. 100 cases of phage therapy facilitated by a Belgian consortium showing 77.2% clinical improvement. I will go through the results below put please read 👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…

We are running a massive online open course on AMR databases starting end of the month. Its completely free, study at your own pace and its ~15 hours overall over the 3 weeks (although you can finish any time in a year). Please spread in your networks! …erences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/antimicr…


The increasing report of NDM-producing E. coli isolates that are resistant to either aztreonam-avibactam and/or cefiderocol is major source of concern! Potent in-vitro activity of sulbactam-durlobactam against NDM-producing Escherichia coli #idxposts clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-…
