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.

Ecological and Evolutionary Drivers of Environmental Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health concern, affecting medical, veterinary, and agricultural systems. The environment plays a crucial role in the emergence, maintenance, and dissemination of ARGs, with compartments like soil, water, air, and wildlife harboring complex microbial communities and diverse mobile genetic elements. This article collection focuses on the ecological and evolutionary […]

Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Environmental Bacteria from Sewage Water in Vellore, India: Isolation, Virulence Analysis and Characterization
The rise of antibiotic resistance is a global concern, with environmental sources, particularly wastewater, playing a crucial role in the spread of resistant bacteria. A study in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, investigated the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from sewage receiving hospital wastewater. The study identified ten bacterial strains, most of which […]

Role of antibiotic residues in development of antibiotic resistance in coastal bacterial communities
Antibiotics are becoming pollutants in water due to inadequate treatment, improper dumping, and agricultural runoff. This leads to antibiotic resistance, endangering human health and marine aquatic life. The Gulf of Khambhat in India faces increasing antibiotic contamination from industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and aquaculture effluents. Bacterial resistance profiling revealed widespread multidrug resistance, even in undetectable […]
