Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a global multi-faceted problem, often regarded as a “silent pandemic”, which is in part a consequence of misuse, overuse or negligent use of antimicrobials in the human, animal, plant, and environmental sectors [1], [2]. AMR occurs when bacteria, fungi,...
“We have global institutions spending billions to try to bring those diseases to zero, but we’re arguing about spending a tenth of that on AMR, a threat that kills more people today than HIV or malaria.” But policy makers are already taking some positive steps to rekindle investment...
Before 2020, messenger RNA (mRNA) wasn’t a scientific term that had much public traction. More than a year on from the outset of the devastating global Covid-19 pandemic, mRNA-based therapeutic programmes have been enjoying a significant bump in interest, both from the public and from Big ...

AN: To what extent has the Covid-19 pandemic refocused attention on global health challenges, including AMR? DS:A silver lining to the Covid-19 cloud is that it’s taught people that we don’t always have a ready-made solution. There is awareness that the solutions for these various pu...
The global spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria represents a considerable public health concern, yet their detection and identification of their resistance mechanisms remain challenging. Optimal diagnostic tests should provide rapid results at low cost to enable implementation in any microbiology...
The traditional definition of biofilm refers to a structured polymeric matrix, adherent to a surface and enclosing bacterial cells [1]. Biofilms are an important surgical issue since they can form on a chronic wound or implantable medical devices such as prosthesis, pace-makers, hearth valve, ...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect up to 15% of all hospitalized patients, representing a global concern. Major causes include the persistent microbial contamination of hospital environment, and the growing antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) of HAI-associated microbes. The hospital environment repr...
