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.

This study reviewed the implementation of the Philippine National Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance (2019–2023), developed under the WHO’s Global Action Plan using a One Health approach. It found strong progress in AMR policy, regulation, and surveillance within human and animal health sectors. However, the environmental sector remains underrepresented, lacking formal mandates and monitoring […]

03 November 2025Continuity of carbapenem resistance determinants in carioca river and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after decade
This study examined antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in water samples from the Carioca River and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Out of 101 bacterial isolates, 45% were resistant to carbapenems—antibiotics often used as a last resort. Key resistance genes detected included blaKPC (41%), blaGES (26%), and blaNDM (6%). The persistence of the […]

03 November 2025Resistome profiling and bacterial community structure of semi-urban gutter ecosystems of India
This study investigated antibiotic-resistant bacteria in six urban gutter systems in Roorkee, India, using metagenomic analysis. High levels of resistance were found to several antibiotic classes, including penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and antifolates. Beta-lactamase activity—an enzyme linked to antibiotic breakdown—was detected in nearly all samples. The dominant bacterial families were Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae, with common […]
