Thesexually transmitted diseaseis among infections that are becoming most difficult to treat due toantibiotic resistance. The CDC says that gonorrhea is among three diseases called “urgent threats” for their potential to become more widespread. This means that many of the antibiotics once used to ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global threat. The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed AMR as one of the top 10 public challenges and has called for urgent multilateral actions (WHO2021). The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is widely recognized as one of the most criti...
Antibiotic-resistant bacteriaare considered one of the major global threats to human and animal health. The most harmful among the resistant bacteria are β-lactamase producing Gram-negative species (β-lactamases). β-lactamases constitute a paradigm shift in the evolution ofantibioticresistance. Theref...

These organisms have been identified as urgent and serious threats by CDC. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and changes of antibiotic resistance of multidrug-resistant pathogens isolated from blood cultures over a four-year period in a tertiary-care hospital...
We also found evidence of 3 instances where this strain was found in blood cultures from hospitalized patients, highlighting ST1894 as an urgent threat to this healthcare facility and associated immunocompromised patients. The bias for these isolates originating from the in-room sink drains rather ...
The identifies priorities and coordinates investments: to prevent, detect, and control outbreaks of resistant pathogens recognized by CDC as urgent or serious threats, including carbapenem-resistant (CRE), methicillin-resistant (MRSA), ceftriaxone- resistant , and which is naturally resistant to many ...
Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop water disinfection processes which are safe, environmentally friendly, low-cost and highly efficient for removing both ARB and ARGs. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) such as the Fenton reaction, H2O2/TiO2/sunlight, and UV/H2O2 have been proposed as...
Urgent investment is also needed in hospital infection prevention and control programs and improved water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in farms to help to limit the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria around these environments. Animals should be given antibiotics only when they are sick. These...
They are considered among the biggest threats to public health by the World Health Organization (WHO). Australia is among the highest rates of antibiotic use in the world. "A list of tangible actions against each of the drivers of antimicrobial resistance, coordinated across human and animal ...
