Antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea is spreading faster than expected, warns @who.int.
With ceftriaxone and cefixime resistance rising up to 5% and 11% respectively, urgent investment in STI surveillance is essential.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is happening here and now. It is one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, environment, and sustainable development today. #WorldAMRWeek
It’s World AMR Awareness Week — themed Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future. SCELSE is doing exactly that with this week’s sharing on exploiting cell wall-deficient Pseudomonas aeruginosa for new AMR solutions. Presented at the SCELSE Scientific Retreat, Alicia P. — a SCELSE PhD student under the supervision of Prof Cynthia Whitchurch FAA Whitchurch — highlighted a promising vulnerability in this highly drug-resistant pathogen. When exposed to very high beta-lactam levels, P. aeruginosa can enter a temporary cell wall-deficient state that increases drug influx and weakens efflux. In this window, the bacterium becomes far more sensitive to antibiotics and even FDA-approved non-antibiotic compounds. From a 1,443-compound screen, 81 showed potentiated activity, including 41 non-antibiotics that worked only in this weakened state. This opens new opportunities to repurpose existing drugs against Gram-negative infections. Next steps: To uncover mechanisms of action and explore how this vulnerability can be harnessed for therapeutic strategies.
World AMR Awareness Week calls us to act now. At the SCELSE retreat, PhD student Alicia Pek, supervised by Prof Cynthia Whitchurch, showed how cell wall-deficient P. aeruginosa reveals a vulnerability that boosts antibiotic & non-antibiotic activity.

This #WorldAMRWeek, Emily O’Neill from #LSEHealth highlights why measuring AMR progress is hard - but not impossible.📈
Better national plans link to real improvements in antibiotic use. We just need to commit to learning from the evidence.

World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness week is observed from the 18th to the 24th of November. Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat, causing 1.27M deaths yearly and could reach 8M by 2050 if we do not act. Join us for #WorldAMRWeek to raise awareness.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites spread between humans, animals, plants, and the environment. They pose a global threat to animal and human health, food security, and economies. #WorldAMRWeek
#AMR is a global threat. Proud to see Dr Jamie Jonker @jsjonker representing IDF at the UN Global Leaders Group on AMR, advocating for science-based, responsible antimicrobial use.

Preventing infections is the simplest way to fight AMR. Hand hygiene, cleaning, and PPE all reduce antimicrobial use. The future of AMS lies in prevention—and that starts with every healthcare worker, every day.

Perfect timing with #WorldAMRWeek around the corner:
“Some people talk about [AMR] being a pandemic – it is,” Davies said. “Is it a slow-developing one, an insidious one, or what? I don’t mind the words you want to use, but it’s pretty awful.”
