Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
AMR develops when bacteria, fungi or viruses are exposed to antibiotics, antifungals or antivirals. As a result, the antimicrobials become ineffective and infections may persist. In addition, medical interventions including surgery, chemotherapy and stem cell therapy may become impossible.
AMR is considered the biggest global threat of Health and Food Safety.

14 November 2025Deciphering the antimicrobial resistomes and microbiome landscape of open drain wastewater using metagenomics in a progressive Indian state
This study examined antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wastewater from densely populated and industrial regions of Maharashtra, India, using high-throughput nanopore sequencing of 138 samples from 23 open-drain sites. The analysis revealed substantial regional differences in microbial communities and identified 30 indicator taxa. Across the samples, researchers detected 808 antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) spanning 28 drug […]

04 November 2025Principles for Pooled Procurement of AMR Products
The document by the AMR Industry Alliance outlines a set of nine principles for pooled procurement mechanisms (PPMs) of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) products — especially for low- and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). It emphasizes accurate demand forecasting, rational antibiotic use supported by diagnostics and stewardship, transparent tendering and value-based criteria, clear criteria for pooling across countries, […]

04 November 2025Augmenting approaches to AMR prevention: a case for environmental sustainability within the WHO core components for infection prevention and control
This study highlights that while antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in healthcare settings is mainly addressed through antimicrobial stewardship, environmental factors—such as pollution and waste—remain largely overlooked. By reviewing global literature and WHO guidance, the authors found strong overlap between infection prevention and control (IPC) and environmental sustainability goals. They propose integrating sustainability into the eight WHO […]
