Amaechi, who said this at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State while delivering the school’s 59th Inaugural Lecture, also warned against unwholesome administering of feeds and…

Extensively acquired antimicrobial resistant bacteria restructure the individual microbial community in post antibiotic conditions - AMR Insights

Overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (AMR). A study analyzing resistome changes in antibiotic-treated individuals found two bacterial populations: extensively acquired AMR bacteria (EARB) and sporadically acquired AMR bacteria. EARB showed broader drug resistance and a significant role in shaping microbiome composition, providing a new avenue for controlling AMR bacteria’s spread.Het bericht Extensi…
