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.

10 March 2025Investigations for environmental hotspots and application practices for azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus (ARAf)
Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus has increased over 25 years, with evidence suggesting that selection of azole-resistant A. fumigatus (ARAf) occurs in the environment. The increased risk of resistance in patients with aspergillosis may be due to widespread use of fungicide azoles, particularly in the agricultural environment. A study in Denmark found ARAf in 20% […]

08 March 2025Similar antimicrobial resistance and virulence profiles among Aeromonas isolates from recreational beaches, post-chlorinated wastewater and clinical samples in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA
Aeromonas, a genus of Gram-negative facultative anaerobes, is linked to human diseases and may contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment. The study assessed Aeromonas isolates from wastewater effluents, beach sands, and clinics. Results showed that Aeromonas constitutes 22-50% of culturable bacteria across all three beaches, with AMR and multi-drug resistant […]

08 March 2025Mass lysis of predatory bacteria drives the enrichment of antibiotic resistance in soil microbial communities
The study explores the impact of predatory bacterium M. xanthus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in antibiotic-free environments. It found that the presence of M. xanthus in soil increases the frequency of AMR. The study also found that coculturing M. xanthus with soil-derived communities enriched AMR among non-myxobacterial isolates. The lysis of M. xanthus during starvation […]
