NewsGenomic surveillance may track evolution of emerging wheat disease fungus
Genomic surveillance may be an effective disease management tool against the wheat blast pandemic, with the ability to trace lineages of emerging crop diseases, and to identify genetic traits for breeding disease-resistant lines, a study suggests.

News‘Hangry’ bacteria pump out toxins, unlike their identical but well-fed colleagues
New study shows that genetically identical cells within a bacterial community have different functions, with some members behaving more docile and others producing the very toxins that make us ill.

NewsHuman body is breeding ground for antimicrobial resistance genes, new research suggests
The community of microbes living in and on our bodies may be acting as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance, according to new research from the Earlham Institute and Quadram Institute in Norwich.

NewsAMI Trustee Dr Emmanuel Adukwu wins major RSB teaching accolade
Applied MIcrobiology International (AMI) is celebrating after Non-Exec Director and Trustee Dr Emmanuel Adukwu was awarded the Royal Society of Biology’s Higher Education Bioscience Teacher of the Year award for 2023.

NewsWater quality standards ‘should be reviewed to reflect AMR threat’
Water quality standards should be reviewed to reflect the threat from the spread of antibiotic resistance, a team of scientists has warned.

NewsEmerging fungal infection sees dramatic increase in cases and transmission in 2 years
A study of US national surveillance data has found that cases of Candida auris, a highly contagious fungal infection, rose drastically between 2019 and 2021, reflecting increased transmission.

NewsMulti-drug resistant organisms can be transmitted between healthy dogs and cats and their hospitalised owners
Healthy dogs and cats could be passing on multidrug-resistant organisms to their hospitalised owners, and likewise humans could be transmitting these dangerous microbes to their pets - but only a small number of cases were found.

NewsWHO warns of dearth of new antibiotics, especially those targeting drug-resistant pathogens
A review from WHO on the number of new antibiotics currently in the pipeline shows that just 12 new antibiotics have entered the market in the five years from 2017-21.

NewsReview shows antimicrobial resistant Enterobacteriaceae are widespread in surface waters worldwide
Antimicrobial resistant Enterobacteriaceae are widespread in surface waters across the globe, according to a new study.

NewsScientists develop novel combination therapy for treating vancomycin-resistant bacterial infections
Researchers have developed a novel combination therapy using an anticancer agent, mitoxantrone (MTX), together with an antibiotic, vancomycin, for treating bacteria that are resistant to the vancomycin.

NewsRestricting antibiotics for livestock could curtail spread of AMR infections in people
A California policy restricting antibiotic use in animals raised for food is associated with a reduction in one type of antibiotic-resistant infection in people in the state, according to a new study.

NewsFlashing bacteria unveil electric signalling's role in antimicrobial resistance
Like the neurons firing in human brains, bacteria use electricity to communicate and respond to environmental cues. Now, researchers have discovered a way to control this electrical signalling in bacteria, to better understand resistance to antibiotics.

NewsDecades of conflict in Iraq fuel ‘catastrophic’ rise in antimicrobial resistance
Decades of wars and conflict in Iraq have led to a “catastrophic” rise in antimicrobial resistance in the country, with serious implications for the entire region and the world, international experts have warned.
-
NewsStudy reveals how drug resistant bacteria secrete toxins
Research suggests that reducing virulence in drug resistant infections rather than trying to kill bacteria outright may offer an answer to antimicrobial resistance.
-
NewsElectrochemical energies yield insights into how bacteria may develop antibiotic tolerance
Researchers investigated variations in the electrochemical energies that power bacterial growth to understand how bacteria develop antibiotic tolerance without acquiring new genes or mutating existing ones.

NewsDiagnostic technique IDs five key AMR markers in water samples in less than an hour
A new testing method can detect five key antimicrobial resistance markers in water samples in less than an hour.

NewsNew antibiotic lunaemycin extracted from moonmilk deposits in caves
Scientists investigating moon milk - a mineral deposit found in caves and used for its curative properties - has led to the discovery of a cryptic compound active against bacteria that are multi-resistant to antibiotics.
-
NewsIncrease in multidrug-resistant pathogens since Ukraine war
Researchers in Germany have recommended screening patients from Ukraine for multi-drug resistant pathogens prior to hospital admission following a series of outbreaks.

NewsRegulatory pathway needs to be developed to make the most of phages: AMI
A regulatory pathway needs to be developed if the UK is to reap the benefits of bacteriophage therapy, Applied Microbiology International (AMI) has warned. France, Belgium and Poland are already developing programmes that take advantage of the potential of phage therapeutics, while bacteriophages - viruses that are capable of destroying ...

NewsAMI putting together recommendations to support UK government action on AMR
Applied Microbiology International is putting together recommendations for the UK to deliver its five-year action plan on tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the run-up to 2030.
