World leaders, civil society and global health researchers will convene at the United Nations General Assembly for arguably the most important meeting on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) this decade.
Viruses known as ‘phages’ might become an essential tool, as antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten conventional remedies.
A new antibiotic attacks bacteria on two fronts, making it difficult for them to evolve resistance.
Some of the infections are showing an increased resistance to antibiotics.
There are more antibiotics being developed today than there were a few years ago, but the antibiotic-resistance problem remains critical.
There are many ways to kill microbes that cause dangerous infections. Combining genetic screening with machine learning can help researchers identify new antimicrobials.
Some strains of this opportunistic pathogen are also increasingly becoming resistant to the drugs designed to treat them.
Older people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are at much greater risk of hospitalisation from UTI. Prompt medical care is important.
With the alarming rise in syphilis cases in recent years, it’s important to know what it is, how it’s spread and who is most at risk.
Kenya’s smallholder farmers aren’t using antibiotics properly, some are of poor quality and some antibiotics are being found in milk.
Keeping wounds clean and infection free has challenged people for thousands of years.
Zosurabalpin is highly effective against dangerous bacterium Crab, which can kill up to 60% of people infected with it.
The contrasting realities of antimicrobial resistance between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries demands international co-operation to effectively fight superbugs.
Antimicrobial resistance is an epidemic that kills close to 5 million people annually. The solutions are complex and must take into account the needs of the poor.
From the frontline battle against antibiotic resistance in Nigeria, to the techniques being used to find new antibiotics. Listen to The Conversation Weekly podcast.
Researchers are desperately seeking viable alternatives to antibiotics. So what is phage therapy? And how could it help?
Scientists are racing to discover new antibiotics that can defeat these drug-resistant superbugs. So how is the newly developed antibiotic clovibactin different?
Up to 20% of Australians admitted in hospital say they have a penicillin allergy. But not everyone who thinks they’re allergic to penicillin actually is.
Antibiotics have been around for less than a century. But as resistant bacteria become increasingly difficult to treat, we risk a greater number of deaths from infections.
