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.

11 November 2025Novel antimicrobial strategy: native postbiotics synergize with antibiotics to overcome resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae
This study explored the potential of postbiotics—metabolites produced by probiotic bacteria—as allies in the fight against antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Researchers screened 88 native Lactobacillus strains and found that postbiotics from four of them, when combined with low doses of antibiotics like amoxicillin or imipenem, completely eliminated multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. Gene analyses showed that while postbiotics […]

10 November 2025Isotype conversion of Staphylococcal-specific IgG into IgM broadens the reactivity to other bacterial pathogens
A new study in Cell Reports Medicine shows that converting highly specific anti-Staphylococcus IgG antibodies into the IgM isotype can dramatically broaden their ability to bind and protect against other bacterial pathogens. The researchers found that the IgM versions, due to their pentameric and multivalent structure, gained cross-reactivity to several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria—including E. […]

10 November 2025Breaking barriers in antimicrobial therapy: resistance mechanisms and novel antimicrobial strategies
This review highlights the growing global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driven by mechanisms such as reduced drug uptake, target modification, enzymatic inactivation, efflux pumps, metabolic changes, biofilm formation, and horizontal gene transfer. It emphasizes the need for continuous surveillance and prudent antimicrobial use while exploring innovative countermeasures. Promising emerging strategies include antimicrobial peptides, nanotechnology-based […]
