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.

04 December 2025Distribution and antibiotic resistance patterns of airborne staphylococci in urban environments of Delhi, India
This study investigates airborne Staphylococcus species across urban environments in Delhi and reveals that antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and resistance genes (ARGs) are widely present in the city’s outdoor air. The researchers collected air samples from multiple high-traffic and residential locations and found diverse Staphylococcus strains, including S. aureus and coagulase-negative species, many of which showed […]

04 December 2025Role of Trace Elements in Antimicrobial Resistance Dynamics
Agricultural systems increasingly accumulate nonantibiotic pollutants—such as metals from fertilizers, pesticides, and animal waste, as well as engineered nanoparticles—that exert long-term selective pressure on soil and aquatic microbiomes. These stressors reshape microbial communities and accelerate the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes via conjugation, transformation, transduction and membrane-vesicle transport. Notably, sub-lethal nanoparticle exposure can even […]

03 December 2025A One Health approach to fight waterborne antimicrobial resistance in India
Water is a major but often overlooked driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in India, acting as a reservoir and transmission route for antibiotic residues, resistant bacteria and resistance genes from hospitals, households, farms and pharmaceutical industries. Because only a small share of wastewater is treated, rivers and groundwater become contaminated, accelerating the spread of resistance […]
