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.

08 December 2025Soil management strategies drive divergent impacts on pathogens and environmental resistomes
This large field study examined how different soil management practices influence the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes after manure is applied to farmland. Although livestock manure is known to contain AMR genes, the researchers found that non-organic farming practices—despite not using poultry manure—actually posed a greater risk for transmitting AMR genes and human pathogens. […]

05 December 2025Assessing variations and spatial patterns of antibiotic resistance genes and water quality in irrigation pond water
This study examined how antimicrobial-resistant bacteria spread in irrigation water, focusing on a small farm pond in Maryland. Researchers sampled 20 locations nine times over the summer of 2023 and measured two resistance genes (tetA and blaCTX-M) using digital PCR. They found large, time-dependent differences in resistance gene levels across the pond, with much higher […]

04 December 2025Distribution and antibiotic resistance patterns of airborne staphylococci in urban environments of Delhi, India
This study investigates airborne Staphylococcus species across urban environments in Delhi and reveals that antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and resistance genes (ARGs) are widely present in the city’s outdoor air. The researchers collected air samples from multiple high-traffic and residential locations and found diverse Staphylococcus strains, including S. aureus and coagulase-negative species, many of which showed […]
