🟦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

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.

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.

🔬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.

Without the development of new #antibiotics, said @UKAMREnvoy, drug-resistant infections “will grind on for decades and [they] won’t burn out. We know that with viruses, they burn out, you generally develop herd immunity, but this isn’t like that.” theguardian.com/global-devel…
