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.

01 May 2024Antibiotic class with potent in vivo activity targeting lipopolysaccharide synthesis in Gram-negative bacteria
The development of a unique antibiotic class targeting lipopolysaccharide synthesis, a clinically unexploited target in Gram-negative bacteria, has been identified. The compounds target the lipopolysaccharide synthesis pathway, which is essential in most Gram-negative bacteria. The compounds have potent in vivo efficacy against bloodstream infections caused by E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The series has favorable […]

27 April 2024Navigating antimicrobial resistance in a globalized world: The crucial roles of the gut microbiome and migration
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health issue, affecting lifesaving antimicrobials. The human microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microbes, is a significant reservoir of AMR genes. The gut microbiota, a reservoir of ARGs, can be passed between different microbial species, leading to the spread of resistant microbes. Antimicrobial exposure disrupts the gut microbiome’s balance, promoting […]
