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.

27 March 2025A broad-spectrum lasso peptide antibiotic targeting the bacterial ribosome
Lasso peptides, natural products with a unique knotted fold, are ribosomally synthesized and modified peptides. They have broad-spectrum activity against various bacterial pathogens. Lasso peptide antibiotic lariocidin and its derivative lariocidin B are found to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the ribosome and interfering with protein synthesis. These peptides are unaffected by resistance mechanisms, […]

25 March 2025New antifungal breaks the mould
Drug resistance in disease-causing fungi is a significant public health issue, resulting in death from infections. This issue has been ongoing since the emergence of fungal cells two billion years ago. Bacteria have evolved small-molecule products that slow or kill fungi, and fungi adapt by developing resistance tactics. The cycle continues as bacteria respond with […]

18 March 2025Silent guardians: How unstudied bacteria could hold the key to AMR solutions
The Role of Unstudied Bacteria in Combating AMR Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global crisis, with bacterial resistance causing millions of deaths annually. The failure to develop new antibiotics, due to high costs and low profitability, has exacerbated the problem, leaving healthcare providers with limited treatment options. A potential solution lies in the vast, […]
