Breaking antibiotic-resistant bacteria's protective shields opens door for immune system response

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria--such as how they synthesise their protective capsules--is essential for developing new strategies to counter antibiotic resistance.

India's National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance: a critical perspective

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widely recognised as a global health threat, which is projected to account for more deaths than cancer by 2050. The …

Scientists Have Discovered a Goldmine of Potential Antibiotics in the Immune System – Patient Worthy

One Million People: That is an estimate of the number of individuals who die from infections that resist drugs such as antibiotics according to a report in BBC News. Yet, despite the absence of new antibiotics, there has been little research to cope with demand. The new discovery is a process whereby anti-germ molecules are […]

Worrying news comes from doctors overseas. Microplastics could worsen bacteria's resistance to antibiotics. A recent study shows how microorganisms form colonies that can defeat treatments.

Würzburg – Bamberg Hospital has joined the Main Franconian Antimicrobial Stewardship Network (AMS-MAN) to optimize the use of antibiotics in the hospital. The network is led by the Antimicrobial Stewardship Working Group (AMS) at Würzburg University Hospital. "The goal of the cooperation with Würzburg University Hospital is to...

Public-targeted interventionsaddressing antimicrobial resistance andantibiotic use in Sub-Saharan Africa: ascoping review - AMR Insights

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, with sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) facing the highest mortality rates. Most interventions focus on hospital settings and provider behavior, but community-centered interventions often lack a theoretical framework. This scoping review investigates public-targeted interventions on AMR and antibiotic use within SSA, paying close attention to the theories underpinning these interventions. Results s…
