We can’t rely on antibiotics alone to fix AMR.
Since 1990, nearly 80% of major drug companies have scaled back or abandoned antibiotic research.
It’s time to rethink how we fund and accelerate innovation against resistant infections.

🦠 Hello Micronauts! Did You Know?
Candida auris (C. auris) isn’t your typical fungus, it’s a silent hospital invader.
First identified in 2009, this yeast 🧬 can survive for weeks on surfaces, spread easily in healthcare settings, and resist multiple antifungal treatments.👇 {A thread}

Everyone needs to know about this.
Let’s wrap up the week with a closer look at 11 pathogens the CDC classifies as Serious AMR Threats:
🦠 Drug-resistant Campylobacter
🧫 Drug-resistant Candida
💊 ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae
🧪 Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE)
🧬 Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

🧬 Hello Micronauts! Did You Know?
Staphylococcus aureus (often just called “staph”) lives harmlessly in the nose or on the skin of 30% of people, but when it becomes methicillin-resistant (MRSA), it can resist multiple antibiotics making infections far harder to treat. #Athread
