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.

10 December 2025Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents Against WHO Priority Bacterial Pathogens: A Strategic Review of In Vitro Clinical Efficacy, Innovations and Research Gaps
The text highlights that antimicrobial resistance is escalating globally while antibiotic development lags, prompting interest in alternative antimicrobial strategies. Plant-derived essential oils (EOs) have gained attention because they exhibit broad antibacterial activity, act through multiple mechanisms, and can potentiate existing antibiotics. Over the past decade, studies have shown that EOs can disrupt biofilms, inhibit quorum […]

08 December 2025Considerations and perspectives on phage therapy from the transatlantic taskforce on antimicrobial resistance
This paper argues that as antibiotic resistance grows and development of new antibiotics lags, bacteriophages (viruses that kill bacteria) are increasingly seen as a promising alternative or complementary therapy. The authors point out that despite a long history of phage therapy in some countries, broad clinical use remains hampered by scientific, industrial, and regulatory obstacles. […]

03 December 2025Health care integration for addressing antimicrobial resistance: Traditional and conventional medical practices in AMR education
This study explores how integrating traditional and conventional medical practices could support antimicrobial resistance (AMR) education and help reduce antimicrobial use, based on participatory workshops with health practitioners at two hospitals in Zimbabwe. While practitioners identified major challenges—such as misunderstandings between the two systems and the lack of scientific validation of traditional treatments—they also saw […]
