🟦Going Blue for AMR!🟦
The McDevitt Lab went blue for AMR today to show our support for global action against antimicrobial resistance
#WAAW #AMR #GoBlueForAMR
Salma was 18 when she lost a childhood friend and close relative to AMR and pneumonia.
This motivated her to pursue a research career. Salma’s project is investigating resistance to zinc toxicity in S. pneumoniae.
#WAAW #AntimicrobialResistance
It’s #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek
🔬Discovery research and the generation of new knowledge is essential in the fight against AMR.
This week we’ll be sharing insights from the team about why they’re involved in discovery research and what AMR means to them.

This #WorldPneumoniaDay we’re celebrating some of the brilliant researchers in our team.
They’re working to advance our understanding of pneumonia and develop new antimicrobial treatments.
#EveryBreathCounts #DiscoveryResearch
🔬Chloe’s research will improve our understanding of the host-pathogen interface and investigate how we can harness these molecular processes to restore the efficacy of antibiotics.

Congrats to Aurélia Hiron and team, Université de Tours, for their #genetics study into how the #pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae adapts to low #zinc. An international collaboration 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 with @camcdevitt @StephieNeville @UniMelbMDHS @TheDohertyInst

🦠🔬An international team of researchers has found that an antibiotic commonly prescribed for patients with liver disease, has led to the global emergence of an almost untreatable form of antimicrobial resistant superbug. go.unimelb.edu.au/4zg8 @UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH @Austin_Health @UniMelb
