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.

16 April 2026Antimicrobial resistance varies with warming in active layer soil and permafrost
This study shows that antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) are naturally present in permafrost microbiomes, long predating human antibiotic use, and are widely distributed across diverse bacterial taxa. While ARG abundance varies by depth and environmental factors such as soil carbon and pH, laboratory thaw experiments indicate that permafrost thaw does not generally increase ARG levels—remaining […]

16 April 2026Hydrodynamics Shape Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater-Impacted River Biofilms
This study shows that water flow conditions strongly influence the spread and persistence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments impacted by wastewater. Using river biofilms in controlled flume systems, researchers found that dynamic, flowing water supports higher microbial diversity and maintains or even increases ARG abundance over time, whereas static water conditions lead […]

08 April 2026Third generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GCR) Escherichia coli and biocide-tolerant heterotrophic bacteria in irrigation water used in Capsicum annuum cultivation areas in Kosovo
This study assessed antimicrobial resistance (AMR) risks in irrigation systems in Kosovo by analyzing river water, well water, soils, and pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits. Escherichia coli was detected in all water sources and one soil sample, with third-generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GCR) strains found in both rivers and one well. These resistant strains carried ESBL genes (blaCTX-M, […]
