🌍🔬 AIVRT is working to develop new treatments to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. Here is a short video from @_fionahills briefly explaining a petri dish filled with bacteria from hospital patients that have found ways to survive antibiotic treatments! 🦠💊 Bacteria can resist antibiotics in several ways: 1️⃣ Producing enzymes that break down the drug 2️⃣ Pumping the drug out of their system 3️⃣ Mutating their drug targets so the antibiotics no longer work Without effective antibiotics, we could face a challenging future where common infections become life-threatening. Let's work together to find solutions! 💪 #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP #AMR #PhDResearch #HealthInnovation
Vaccines undergo rigorous testing over many years to ensure they are safe and effective. They play a crucial role in protecting not just individuals but entire communities. Let's celebrate the power of vaccination! 💉✨ #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP
