Start with overuse & inappropriate prescription.
The #Antimicrobial resistance spiral:
Bacteria B1 gets stronger against antibiotic X --> triggers higher dosage of X OR --> switch to #antibiotic Y.
Both --> higher overall resistance of B1 --> increases
the clinical need for new antibiotics #pharma

🍬🚫 Could a patient's sweet tooth sabotage #antibiotic treatment for #bloodcancer? A new study suggests that eating less #sugar could protect the #microbiome during allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant.

Ceftazidime-avibactam and other newer agents are not active against NDM.

➡️OXA-244 (an oxacillinase, OXA-48 variant) is rising in E. coli and is hard to detect.
