Therapy for the Nevada Strain

7/30/2019

Combination Therapy May Combat Deadly Drug-Resistant Bacteria

Kirby Lab Outing to Tiger Mama, Boston, MA

7/21/2019

New combinations and repurposed antibiotics active against the pandrug-resistant Nevada CRE, NDM-1 strain early release today in AAC

7/15/2019

Our latest manuscript: "Synergistic combinations and repurposed antibiotics active against the pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Nevada strain." Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy early release identifies:

Highly synergistic activity of several antimicrobial combinations.
Low apramycin and spectinomycin MIC values.

CDC previously reported that none of 26 antimicrobials they tested were active against the Nevada strain. That made the strain until now pandrug-resistant.
