Global Biogeography and Projection Of Soil Antibiotic Resistance Genes

It is a known fact that antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a multisectoral problem and to tackle it the approach also should be in multi directions which can be called a ‘one health’ approach. A systematic analysis has estimated that in 2019 globally around 4.95 million people lost their lives because…

Antibiotic Combinations Reduce Staphylococcus Aureus Clearance

The spread of antibiotic resistance has increased interest in combination-based treatments. Despite extensive research into the effects of drug combinations on bacterial growth, Much less is known about their effects on bacterial long-term clearance, particularly at cidal, clinically relevant concentrations. The authors systematically quantify Staphylococcus aureus survival during prolonged exposure…

Community engagement: The Key to Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Across a One Health Context?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a One Health problem underpinned by complex drivers and behaviours. This is particularly so in low – and middle-income countries (LMICs), where social and systemic factors fuel (mis)use and drive AMR. Behavioural change around antimicrobial use could safeguard both existing and future treatments. However, changing behaviour…
