Antibiotic resistance genes are commonly detected in foodborne pathogens, which has sparked much interest in finding solutions to these issues. Various strategies against these drug-resistant pathogens have been studied, including new antibiotics and phages. Recently, a powerful tool has bee...
Category:Research 31 January 2025 Antibiotic resistance is a global public health crisis responsible for more than a million deaths annually. By 2050, the World Health Organization estimates it could surpass cancer and heart disease as the leading cause of death as more bacteria develop defenses to...
Bigger realized that the small number of bacteria that manage to survive intensive antibiotic treatments are a distinct subpopulation of bacteria that he named ‘persisters’. Fuelled in part by increasing concerns about antibiotic resistance but also by technological advances in single-cell analyses, ...
Exploiting the fitness cost of metallo-β-lactamase expression can overcome antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens Expression of VIM-2 leads to physiological trade-offs for bacterial pathogens that can be exploited to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria.

It was found that 72% of isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic. The frequency of antibiotic resistance ranked in the following order: tetracycline (100%), erythromycin (80%), streptomycin (80%), chloramphenicol (60%) respectively. However, 2 out of 5 isolates were susceptible to...

The ground-breaking work from JCU Professor of General Practice Dr Clare Heal...
Antibiotic-resistance bacteria Different classes of antibiotics have been produced as a result of high demand in treating various diseases. Contrariwise, the irresponsible and reckless use of antibiotics has led to the introduction of bacterial, fungal, and viral strains that are resistant (Zaman et ...
The World Health Organization rates antibiotic resistance as a 'global security threat' impacting on global health, food security and development and as important as terrorism and climate change.This paper explores, through a scoping review of the literature published during the past 20years, the ...
