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.

17 April 2026Antimicrobial resistance and physician prescribing of antibiotics in Alberta: a qualitative exploration
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat in Canada, with substantial mortality and high rates of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing—particularly in Alberta, where physicians issue most prescriptions and nearly 40% are unnecessary. This qualitative study, based on focus groups with physicians, found considerable variability in prescribing practices driven by patient, clinical, and contextual factors. […]

16 April 2026The Value of Vaccines in Mitigating Antimicrobial Resistance in Kenya
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global health crisis, responsible for an estimated 1.14 million deaths in 2021 and driven largely by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human and animal health, leading to the survival and spread of resistant microorganisms. Vaccination offers a highly effective and cost-efficient strategy to mitigate AMR by preventing […]

13 April 2026The missing link in combating antimicrobial resistance: leveraging vaccines for prevention
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050, yet vaccines—despite strong evidence that they reduce infections, antibiotic use, and resistant pathogens—remain underutilized in AMR strategies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Pediatric vaccination alone could prevent over 180,000 AMR-related deaths each year, but vaccines are rarely embedded in National AMR […]
