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.
Resistance may have emerged from the increasing use of colistin in agricultural settings in Nigeria.
A new antibiotic attacks bacteria on two fronts, making it difficult for them to evolve resistance.
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.
The Nobel Prize-winning Luria−Delbrück experiment showed that random mutations in bacteria can allow them to develop resistance by chance.
While every week or two will generally suffice for sheets, towels are best washed every few days. A microbiologist explains.
The contrasting realities of antimicrobial resistance between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries demands international co-operation to effectively fight superbugs.
Developing new antibiotics is important in the fight against antibiotic resistance. But we also need to use the antibiotics we already have much more wisely – GPs play a major role in this.
Africa bears the heaviest burden of antimicrobial resistance, a phenomenon fuelled largely by poverty, But there are encouraging signs that the continent is taking action to fight it.
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.
The struggle with open defecation is a silent emergency, undermining the continent’s efforts towards sustainable development goals.
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.
Resistance arises when bacteria are exposed to levels of antibiotics that don’t immediately kill them. Here’s how.
We asked 7 global experts in microbiology and biochemistry if we are headed towards a future with no antimicrobial agents.
The challenge of antimicrobial resistance is global, but low- and medium-income countries like Nigeria face particular challenges.
Using bees as biomonitors can be a more sensitive and effective way of detecting contaminants than traditional sampling methods, new research shows.
