In a new publication online now in American Society for Microbiology Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Sanjat Kanjilal discusses the potential of the #data that comes from the clinical #microbiology laboratory, using antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) as an example. He also outlines challenges and possible solutions to realizing this potential. 🔬 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/e_GdEmEx

What do you know about Mr. Tetracycline? Tetracyclines specifically inhibit the 30S ribosomal subunit, hindering the binding of the aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. Protein synthesis is the use of ribosomes, whose job is to translate an mRNA code into functioning proteins. In eukaryotes, this occurs on ribosomes with the 40S and 60S subunits. In prokaryotes, such as bacteria, protein synthesis occurs using ribosomes with the 30S and 50S subunits. At these sites, the ribosome transfer RNA (tRNA), which is charged with an amino acid, binds to the mRNA template. The subsequent binding of each tRNA charged with an amino acid contributes to the formation and elongation of cellular proteins. When this process halts, a cell can no longer maintain proper functioning and will be unable to grow or further replicate. This type of impairment by the tetracyclines makes them “bacteriostatic.” American Society for Microbiology Microbiology Society #microbiology #pharmacy #antibiotics #drug #microorganism #AMR

Title: Antibody Susceptibility Test: A Crucial Step in Understanding Antibiotic Resistance As microbiology student, Today, I'd like to share a fascinating experiment I conducted using the antibody susceptibility test to examine the response of Salmonella to three different antibiotics: A)Kanamycin B)Co trimoxazole C)Oxacillin The Experiment I plated the culture of #Salmonella on a Mueller–Hinton agar medium and added each of the #threeantibiotics in a same petri dishes at different places. After incubation, I observed the following results: #2positve1negativeresult Kanamycin : positive result - clear inhibition zones indicating sensitivity to the antibiotic. Co- trimoxazole : positive result - moderate inhibition zone indicating partial sensitivity. Oxacillin : negative result -no inhibition zone indicating complete resistance. This experiment highlights the importance of understanding antibiotic resistance patterns in bacteria. The varying results demonstrate that salmonella exhibits different levels of susceptibility to each antibiotic. While Kanamycin and Co- trimaxazole showed some degree of effectiveness, Oxacillin was ineffective. #AntibioticResistance #Microbiology #AntibioticSusceptibilityTest #Ecoli #Kanamycin #Oxacillin #Cotrimoxacillin

Testing the efficacy of weapons against deadly bacteria!!! It is increasingly important to rapidly receive information on the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria due to the rise in antimicrobial resistance worldwide. #antibiotics #microbiology #pathogens

📢 Although the development of new antibiotics is nearly at a standstill, diagnosing infections in the context of growing antimicrobial resistance is becoming highly strategic. Strengthening diagnostic capacities is therefore essential to improve clinical management, support resistance surveillance, and promote rational antimicrobial stewardship practices. The WHO's Diagnostic Initiative aims to enhance laboratory systems, ensure equitable access to quality testing, and support innovation in diagnostic technologies. #AMR #diagnostic #innovation #microbiology #Bioaster #SOLVEAMR #WHO
