We are eradicating the effectiveness of antibiotics – soon there will be no more effective antibiotics left, and then we will die from common infections. This is what antibiotic researcher Daniel Carelli writes in an opinion piece in GP.
Pneumococcal strains that cause respiratory diseases are showing a significant decrease in sensitivity to second-generation cephalosporin and macrolide antibiotics. This is a warning sign of increasingly complex drug resistance.
Antibiotic Resistance Potential of ESKAPE Pathogens
Breaking down the microbiology world one bite at a time HomeAbout usMicroBitesThe teamArchivesVolunteeringContactNewsletter Antibiotic Resistance Potential of ESKAPE Pathogens Written bymeenatekkalakote24 Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections pose a major health threat and are considered among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. As a result, many pharmaceutical companies have reduced the production of antibiotics. Bacteria can ac…
Plasmids and Genomic Islands Fuel ST-131 Resistance Evolution
In recent years, the discourse surrounding antibiotic resistance has escalated, reflecting a growing public health crisis. At the forefront of this discussion is the emergence of high-risk uropathogenic Escherichia coli, particularly the ST-131 clone. A groundbreaking study conducted by Peketi, Nagaraja, and Bulagonda sheds light on the complex genetic underpinnings responsible for the rise of this pathogenic strain. Their research emphasizes th…
Antibiotic Resistance Rapidly Rising in Ancient Deadly Bacteria
Researchers are raising concerns about the rapid rise of antibiotic resistance in a long-known, deadly pathogen. This accelerating trend threatens to undermine current treatments and poses serious challenges for global public health efforts.
Researchers are raising the alarm about the growing resistance of certain ancient bacteria to antibiotic treatments. This phenomenon is worrying the scientific community, as it complicates the management of diseases that were once under control, thus threatening the effectiveness of current treatments.
