Germophiles! There's a new #microTalk! The CHARMing Victor Nizet @victornizet from @UCSanDiego @CHARM_UCSD chats about new ways to combat the threat of Antimicrobial Resistant Microbes. Listen!

Excited to be giving a seminar hosted by @ucsdbiosciences this coming Wednesday November 8th 11 AM PST discussing a variety of new collaborative approach to combat antimicrobial resistance that we have been working on in the laboratory.

Congrats to the one-and-only Chip Schooley @chipatucsd on this well-deserved award presented at #IDWeek2023. There is no one more inspirational in the field of ID and HIV. Also has aspirational comedic timing! Representin' @UCSD_IDFellows and @UCSDHealth.

I'm thrilled to share the latest work from my lab, showing that a bacterial anti-phage immune system encodes a ubiquitination pathway strikingly similar to our own! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/12)

We had the great privilege of hosting César @delafuenteupenn for a seminar @UCSanDiego Pediatrics and @CHARM_UCSD on "Artificial Intelligence for Antibiotic Discovery". Many thoughts were provoked and scientists inspired.

This ⬇️ is a very important development in global antibiotic access and equity—used for complicated MDR Gram- UTIs and hospital pneumonias—cefiderocol is on the WHO List of Essential Medicines. Kudos to @gardp_amr for their mission, vision, and leadership
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve signed an agreement with Orchid Pharma Ltd to manufacture cefiderocol 👏
This agreement is a critical step forward in our project with @SHIONOGI_JP & @CHAI_health to improve appropriate antibiotic access

Let’s talk TRAJECTORIES
A decade ago Dominic McGrosso was a junior college volunteer in my lab working with then postdoc David Gonzalez
Today, DOCTOR Dominic McGrosso defended his PhD thesis in the lab of TENURED UCSD Assoc. Professor of Pharmacology and Pharmacy David Gonzalez

New study in Lancet Planetary Health finds an association between particulate matter (PM)2·5 air pollution and clinical antibiotic resistance
we definitely do not need these two evil forces as bedfellows

Eye-opening survey of the current burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the Americas published in @LancetGH for 35 countries, 23 bacterial pathogens, and 88 pathogen-drug combinations

A new report by IMB researchers has warned a global crisis of #AntibioticResistance is inevitable unless we increase the number of new antibiotics being developed.

A real paradigm shift from Astrid Hendriks and @N_van_sorge on how to understand adaptive immunity to S. aureus
IgM (not IgG) to wall teichoic acids predicts protection vs mortality in bacteremia—IgM superior in promoting opsonophagocytosis, including as a monoclonal therapeutic
Did you ever wonder about the role of IgM in host defense against Staphylococcus aureus?
In this preprint, we identify opsonic IgM to be critical for human immunity to S. aureus. Potential implications for antibody-based therapies and vaccines. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Last chance to register for the free webinar “The Antimicrobial Resistance Crisis!" On July 18 at 12 p.m. ET, Brenda Wilson & @brianthomasho, authors of “Revenge of the Microbes 2e,” will explore the transition from blame game to synergistic solutions: asm.social/1kk

#Antibiotics are essential for the treatment of a wide array of #biodefense threats, such as anthrax and plague.
Ask your members of Congress to pass the #PASTEUR Act to address the growing threat that #antibioticresistance poses to the nation’s security. pew.org/3XQy8AT

Wow—spectacular new paper in Cell from Kranzusch Lab @harvardmed @DanaFarber led by terrific postdoc Yao Li PhD (@YaoChocoholic, a @UCSDChemBiochem alum) shows animals, from coral to mammals, encode cGAS-like signaling proteins crucial to innate immunity!

Enjoyed sharing perspectives on the #AMR crisis and taking listener questions on potential scientific solutions moving forward on @scifri #NPR with @iraflatow and fellow guest @E_Stenehjem — will share a link when the segment or transcript available @CHARM_UCSD @UCSanDiego
