Antibiotic resistance ... bacteria to remain and flourish. Taking antibiotics for a viral infection like a cold or the flu (for which antibiotics are ineffective) is an example of misuse of ...

The consequences of antibiotic resistance extend beyond your animals. Resistant bacteria can spread between animals and humans – known as zoonotic infections, increasing the risk of untreatable ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the ...

Although AMR encompasses all classes of microbes, the major research focus has been on antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Driven by the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans, animals and ...

The model's ability to detect resistance without needing expert-defined rules also means it could potentially be applied to other bacteria or even in agriculture, where antibiotic resistance is ...

Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist the treatment. The answer to this antimicrobial resistance, which the ...
