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.

08 December 2025The AMR Knowledge Space Game: participatory modeling to address the complexity of antimicrobial resistance
This study introduces and tests the AMR Knowledge Space Game, a serious game designed to improve collaboration and understanding around antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing global health threat. The game brings together people from different backgrounds—experts and non-experts alike—to share knowledge, build common understanding, and map the complex challenges linked to AMR. Using tools such […]

03 December 2025Artificial Intelligence-Integrated Biosensors for Antimicrobial Resistance Detection and Surveillance: A Review and Future Perspectives for Global Biosecurity
The review highlights that traditional methods for detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) — relying on culture and lab diagnostics — are too slow, expensive and often inaccessible, limiting effective surveillance worldwide. Instead, it argues that new biosensor technologies (electrochemical, optical, piezoelectric, paper-based and nanomaterial-based) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning can revolutionise AMR detection by […]

28 November 2025Beyond resistance: alternative innovation models for global access and stewardship of new antibiotics
The development of new antibiotics—together with ensuring equitable access and responsible stewardship—is essential to combating AMR. To assess how today’s antibiotic innovation ecosystem supports this goal, researchers reviewed the literature, built a database of 211 antibiotic developers, and interviewed 10 stakeholders. They found that while some companies still follow the traditional market-driven model, most now […]
