42K Antibiotic resistance occurs when organisms like bacteria and fungi can withstand the drugs designed to counteract them. Discover the definition and types of antibiotic resistance, and then explore the ant
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an urgent public health threat. Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and increases in computational power have resulted in the adoption of AI for biological tasks. This review explores the application of AI in bacterial infection diagnostics, AMR surveillance, ...
Antibiotic resistance. Multi-drug resistance. Drug resistant infections. Multi-resistant organisms. These are all terms that encapsulate a single phenomenon, one that has been labeled by the World Health Organization as one of the biggest threats to public health this century. Antimicrobial resistance ...
How does antimicrobial resistance happen? There are millions of viruses thought-out the world and many of them are deadly, take the Influenza virus for instance. The Influenza strain is a constantly changing virus; they change from year to year, and as the flu virus reproduces their genetic ...
The challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to receive significant global attention as common infections become increasingly resistant to the drugs used to treat them. Once an infectious microbe has developed a mechanism of resistance, it can cause longer, more damaging infe...
"Right now, almost all countries have developed or are in the process of developing national action plans to address the crisis that antibiotic resistance poses to their health systems, but there is very little evidence addressing which interventions are effective," said Joseph Lewnard...
Scientists have developed antibiotic treatments that have saved lives, but an unintended consequence has been bacteria evolving resistance to antibiotics. This lesson delves into this process and examines two antibiotic-resistant pathogens and the attempts to overcome them. ...
1. Resistance Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as a major global public health threat. It occurs when bacteria and other microorganisms evolve to evade the effects of antibiotics and other antimicrobial treatments.9 Treating infections can become difficult or even impossible and increases the risk ...
Researchers have developed a peptoid-based antiviral therapy that mimics the immune system to target viruses effectively, showing promise against three distinct viruses in laboratory tests by disrupting their membrane lipids. Just as bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance, viruses can also evade dru...
The Threat and Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) It may be surprising for many to learn that nearly all classes of antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective against the bacterial pathogens they were developed to treat.2This is a result of the ability of these pathogens ...
