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.

07 November 2025There is urgent need for a Global Data Resource for Antimicrobial PK/PD: CAMO-Net GDR Initiative
A new Nature Communications paper calls for the urgent creation of a Global Data Resource (GDR) to collect, standardise, and share worldwide pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data for antimicrobials. The authors, part of the CAMO-Net consortium, argue that fragmented and incomplete data—especially from low- and middle-income countries and vulnerable populations—hinder optimal antibiotic dosing and fuel […]

05 November 2025Computational framework for streamlining the success of sequential antibiotic therapy
The authors present an open-source computational platform that leverages mathematical modelling of collateral sensitivity (i.e., when resistance to one antibiotic increases sensitivity to another) to design sequential antibiotic therapies. They formalise a framework that integrates experimental data (minimum inhibitory concentration changes, mutation profiles) into a network and dynamical model to predict which antibiotic sequences are […]

30 October 2025The applications and advantages of nanopore sequencing in bacterial antimicrobial resistance surveillance and research
This review paper examines how long-read nanopore sequencing technology is transforming bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research and surveillance. It highlights that nanopore devices deliver ultra-long DNA reads and real-time sequencing, enabling detailed assembly of whole bacterial genomes, rapid detection of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), and analysis of their genomic context (e.g., mobile elements, plasmids). These […]
