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.

25 June 2025The global economic burden of antibiotic-resistant infections and the potential impact of bacterial vaccines: a modelling study
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) can increase hospital costs, utility loss, and mortality risk per patient. Understanding these losses is crucial for tackling ABR efficiently. A study estimated the global economic burden of antibiotic-resistant infections and the potential for bacterial vaccines to mitigate this burden. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis had the highest mean hospital cost attributable to ABR per […]

23 June 2025New global collaboration launched to tackle AMR through improved diagnostics
A new global collaboration has been launched to accelerate the use of diagnostics in addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The initiative, led by the Fleming Initiative, GARDP, and FIND, aims to strengthen diagnostic innovation, implementation, and equity in low- and middle-income countries where the burden of AMR is highest. Partners include the Wellcome Trust, Africa CDC, […]

10 June 2025Antibiotic potentiators as a promising strategy for combating antibiotic resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health challenge. It arises from pathogens’ resistance to antibiotics due to misuse, overuse, and insufficient regulation. As new antibiotics emerge slowly, antibiotic potentiators can enhance existing treatments against resistant strains. Challenges such as toxicity and regulatory barriers necessitate further studies to optimize these agents. This review examines the […]
