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.

12 March 2026A review of wastewater-based epidemiology for antimicrobial resistance surveillance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global public health threat, driven largely by the overuse and inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine. Traditional surveillance systems face limitations in tracking how resistance spreads across populations and within the microbiome of healthy individuals. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is emerging as a complementary surveillance approach that […]

10 March 2026Linking aquaculture practices to antibiotic occurrence, accumulation, and environmental risk in freshwater systems
The study investigates how freshwater aquaculture contributes to antibiotic contamination in surrounding ecosystems. Researchers analyzed water outflows, sediments, and aquatic organisms downstream of fish farms and screened for 23 antibiotics. Four compounds—enrofloxacin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, and florfenicol—were detected, with enrofloxacin and doxycycline occurring most frequently and at the highest concentrations. Significant accumulation of antibiotics was found […]

09 March 2026Managing environmental antimicrobial resistance (AMR) under climate change: current gaps and future needs
Climate change is increasingly recognized as an important driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment. Rising temperatures can accelerate bacterial mutation and enhance the stability and transfer of resistance genes, while extreme weather events such as floods and droughts disrupt sanitation systems and promote the spread and mixing of resistant microbes. Changes in precipitation, […]
