Step into this new year ✨ knowing you can contribute in the fight against antimicrobial resistance 🦠💊! Remember the basics in this comic strip by #WHO. #AMR #DelNAM

A new antibiotic class 💊 has shown potent in vitro 🧫 and in vivo 🐁 activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and all other Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens 🦠. #antimicrobial #resistance #AMR #research nature.com/articles/s4158…

Based on human-derived hybrid host defense peptides, researchers 👩‍🔬 have developed a potentially efficacious and safe topical antimicrobial agent for treating Gram-positive infections 🧫, with no/minimal risk of developing resistance. #AMR #bacteria nature.com/articles/s4159…

Researchers 👨‍🔬 designed a peptide that inhibits bacterial invasion 🦠 in vivo through mimicking the mechanisms of human defensin-6 with high efficiency and precision. #antibacterial #peptide #research science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🌟 PhD student Luís Moreira will be defending his dissertation "Design and application of nucleic acid mimics oligonucleotides (NAMs) in combination with nanoparticles for detection and/or growth inhibition of microorganisms" today at 14h00 p.m (WET) 👩‍🏫. #PhD #Defense #DelNAM

Congrats 🥳 to our very own Luís Moreira, who concluded his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering yesterday (13th of January 2022)! #PhD #DelNAM

How can microbiology labs benefit from mass spectrometry? Besides helping to identify clinically-relevant compounds, mass spec can now contribute to identify microbes and even predict antimicrobial resistance. #massspectrometry #bacteria #microbiology asm.org/Articles/2021/…
