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.

02 May 2024Transmission of antibiotic resistance through organic amendments in arable land: A 3-year field study with pigeonpea–wheat cropping system
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern worldwide, and organic amendments in agriculture, such as manure and plant residues, can restore soil properties and provide essential nutrients. However, these amendments also carry antibiotic resistance genes, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and strategic interventions. A three-year field experiment with pigeonpea-wheat cropping systems revealed that manure […]

30 April 2024Climate change risks fuelling antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs’
Antibiotic-resistant superbugs pose a significant public health threat, and climate change is expected to exacerbate their danger. Rising temperatures, flooding, pollution, and population growth are predicted to increase bacterial resistance to existing drugs. This underscores the need for international efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by developing new medicines and blocking pathogen immunity spread pathways. […]

27 April 2024Climate change is multiplying the threat caused by antimicrobial resistance
Climate change is a threat multiplier for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), as it increases global temperatures, greenhouse gas emissions, and rising sea levels. This is due to the ecological and environmental integrity of living systems, enabling pathogens to increasingly cause disease. Climate change also changes the physical and environmental conditions in which microbes live, making it […]
