PART 1: What is AMR? 💡Did you know that 39 trillion microbes live in and on our bodies? Most keep us healthy, but some cause infections. Enter antimicrobials. However, bacteria are evolving and becoming resistant to these medicines. We call this #AMR.

Africa: How Germs Outsmart Antimicrobials and Why It's Making Us Sicker: [IPS] Bulawayo -- More people are dying from once treatable infections because the medicines we rely on are no longer working as they should. The culprit? A growing health threat called antimicrobial resistance (AMR). http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TKtBdj #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #InfectiousDiseases #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth

#Phages (viruses that kill bacteria) are considered a potential approach to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, they don't always deliver the desired results on their own. A research team at #CharitéBerlin has now demonstrated that combining phages with an antibiotic is much more effective, at least in the lab, against a form of #pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria 💪👩‍🔬.

#Phagen – also Viren, die Bakterien abtöten – sind ein möglicher Ansatz gegen multiresistente Erreger. Sie allein zeigen aber nicht immer die erhoffte Wirkung. Ein Forschungsteam der #CharitéBerlin belegt jetzt: Kombiniert man Phagen mit einem Antibiotikum, hilft das im Labor viel besser gegen eine Form der Lungenentzündung mit multiresistenten Bakterien 💪👩‍🔬.
