Thrilled to be part of this effort! The Weiss Lab is HIRING at all levels. Come join us to study heteroresistance and how tiny subpopulations of resistant cells can have huge impacts on treatment outcomes. Please RT and DM or email if interested. reuters.com/world/us/biden-p….

Biden plans $100 million drive to combat drug-resistant 'superbugs'

U.S. President Joe Biden will announce on Wednesday a $100 million research drive to fight deadly drug-resistant bacteria, according to a White House official.

We agree @Dr_Lori_Burrows. Unfortunately we observed much more heteroresistance than resistance, and in strains with a diversity of metallo-beta-lactamases including NDM1 which is spread globally thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Heteroresistance to cefepime–taniborbactam in metallo-β-lactamase-encoding Enterobacterales

We read with great interest the Correspondence by Christophe Le Terrier and colleagues1 regarding NDM-9-mediated resistance to cefepime–taniborbactam in an engineered Escherichia coli strain....

This is why we need new targets instead of just endlessly tweaking compounds. NDM-9 resistance to taniborbactam pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3679…

Unfortunately we detected a LOT of heteroresistance to cefepime-taniborbactam among metallo-beta-lactamase encoding CRE (29/34 strains). Worse - most of it undetected by standard testing. Congrats @abbott_carter on your hard work and these important data. Thanks @TheLancetInfDis

New! Gram- cells need lipoproteins to build their surface. LolA & LolB deliver these in E.coli. But many species only have LolA - where's LolB? For Caulobacter, LolB is... LolA! It's a bifunctional protein! We can even tweak E.coli LolA to do double duty! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…
