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.

27 August 2025Identification of clinically relevant multi-drug resistant ESKAPEE isolates from hospital wastewater surveillance in Thailand
This study in a Thai tertiary hospital compared wastewater surveillance with clinical isolates to assess its value for AMR monitoring. From hospital wastewater, researchers isolated 2,735 AMR bacteria (including 1,550 ESKAPEE pathogens), with high levels of multidrug resistance—most notably in Klebsiella pneumoniae (85%) and E. coli (98%). Drug-resistance patterns in wastewater overlapped strongly with clinical […]

27 August 2025Genomic evolution of Salmonella Dublin in cattle and humans in the United States
This large genomic study analyzed 2,150 Salmonella Dublin strains collected across the U.S. (2002–2023) from humans, cattle, and the environment. Bovine strains showed the greatest genetic diversity and the highest prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes, especially multidrug resistance plasmids (IncA/C2). Despite differences across sources, 72% of strains were highly similar (≤20 SNPs apart), indicating frequent […]

18 August 2025A review of antibiotic resistance generation and control in wastewater and solid waste system
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rapidly spreading across ecosystems and poses major public health risks. This review analyzes AMR transmission, surveillance, and mitigation strategies in wastewater and solid waste systems. Key measures include antibiotic stewardship, alternative therapies, and cellular-level interventions such as reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting efflux pumps, and disrupting quorum sensing. Resistance gene transfer can […]
