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.

Microbiological Characteristics and Resistance Patterns in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Surveillance Study
This study examines the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of bacterial infections in neonates with early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS). Results show LOS has a higher incidence (94.43%) compared to EOS (5.56%). The leading isolates are gram-positive bacteria, with coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CONS) being predominant in LOS cases (42.9%). The study found reduced resistance […]
