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.

03 April 2026Molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and virulent genes in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from pharmaceutical and environmental Wastewaters in Dhaka, Bangladesh
This study demonstrates that pharmaceutical wastewater in Dhaka, Bangladesh, acts as a significant reservoir for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli. Analysis of isolates from effluent treatment plants (ETPs) and surrounding environmental waters showed high levels of resistance—particularly to β-lactam antibiotics—with ETP isolates exhibiting the highest resistance rates and a high prevalence of the clinically critical blaNDM […]

30 March 2026Artificial intelligence for early detection and risk prediction of antimicrobial resistance in aquatic ecosystems
Concise summary of the article: The Artificial intelligence for early detection and risk prediction of antimicrobial resistance in aquatic ecosystems highlights how artificial intelligence (AI) can transform how we monitor and manage antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in environmental water systems. Current challenge: AMR surveillance in the environment is still largely reactive, fragmented, and data-limited, making early […]

30 March 2026A One Health assessment of antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacterales in migratory little stints (Calidris minuta) and aquatic ecosystems in the Kenyan Rift Valley
This study shows that migratory little stint can carry and spread antimicrobial-resistant bacteria across regions. Researchers sampled bird feces and shared water sources at two Kenyan lakes with different levels of human activity. A wide range of bacteria was found, mainly Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia coli. Resistance was common—especially to ampicillin—while last-resort drugs like meropenem […]
