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.

03 June 2025Augmentation of wastewater-based epidemiology with machine learning to support global health surveillance
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is crucial for monitoring global health threats, including pathogens and antimicrobial resistances. During the COVID-19 pandemic, advanced statistical and machine learning methods were used to detect pathogens from wastewater sequencing data. However, data availability and harmonization challenges hinder method development. The paper highlights the importance of integrating WBE with other health surveillance […]

03 June 2025Converting pig manure into biochar mitigates the antibiotic resistance of vegetable endophytes
The study investigates the impact of composted manure on the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in vegetable endophytes. The research found that biochar from composted pig manure significantly decreased the diversity of ARGs and MGEs in vegetable endophytes. The abundance of ARGs, MGEs, and bacteria was lower in roots treated with biochar compared to […]

30 May 2025Key Contribution and Risk of Airborne Antibiotic Resistance: Total Suspended Particles or Settled Dust?
The study investigates the airborne transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in chicken farms using metagenomic sequencing. Results show that total suspended particles (TSP) have a greater abundance of ARGs than dust. ARGs spread up to 9.48 km within 1 hour. Workers face higher inhalable exposures to ARB and HPARB, exceeding office staff and villagers. The […]
