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.

18 April 2025A systematic review and meta-analysis of antibiotic resistance of foodborne pathogenic bacteria
A study examining antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in foodborne bacteria in Zambia reveals a significant increase over the past five years. Salmonella spp., E. coli., and L. monocytogens are the most common foodborne bacteria in Zambia. The prevalence of bacterial pathogens in food samples was 11%, while in human samples was 14%. The rise is attributed […]
