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.

11 July 2025Combined Forces Against Bacteria: Phages and Antibiotics
This study explores the therapeutic potential of phage-antibiotic synergy (PAS) in combating bacterial infections. PAS has shown promising results in restoring susceptibility of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, facilitating biofilm degradation, and minimizing antibiotic doses. However, challenges like resistance and antagonistic interactions remain. Key factors influencing PAS efficacy include phage and antibiotic dosing, timing of administration, and […]

11 July 2025Enhancing access to antimicrobial resistance diagnostics for the marginalized: Challenges and opportunities of point-of-care technologies
The study reveals that in low- and middle-income countries, inadequate access to antimicrobial resistance diagnostics is a significant challenge. Despite global policy commitments, socio-economic barriers, technological limitations, and infrastructure gaps hinder implementation. The study suggests that traditional culture-based microbiology facilities can be established in sub-district facilities to expand access, despite the limitations of existing point-of-care […]

08 July 2025Women trailblazers shaping the global future of antimicrobial stewardship and antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, and the World Health Assembly adopted a plan in 2015 to promote antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs. However, many countries took little action, and women have played a pivotal role in mitigating AMR-AMS through leadership, research, patient care, education, mentoring, advocacy, and outreach. This paper highlights 11 frontline […]
