Combatting antimicrobial resistance using novel small fusion proteins
Antibiotic resistance is a public health burden worldwide. Alternatives to antibiotics that can counter the detrimental effects of resistant ‘superbugs’ are urgently needed. Dr Xristo Zarate at the Autonomous University […]
New molecules help battle antimicrobial resistance
The overuse of antibiotics over the years has made them less effective in fighting infectious diseases and has led to the emergence of superbugs that are resistant to many different […]
The silent pandemic: Addressing antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent pandemic that poses a huge threat to global health and development. The World Health Organization and its partner organisations are seeking to raise awareness […]
Antimicrobial stewardship programmes: Remote consultations can help reduce antibiotic resistance
The increased use of antibiotic therapy to treat infectious diseases is driving up antimicrobial resistance as well as economic and healthcare costs. Antimicrobial stewardship programmes are crucial to monitor and […]
Exploring the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes within poultry litter
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human and animal health. Bacteria containing antibiotic resistance genes are found in poultry litter, usually from commercial chicken production. Since poultry litter is […]
Antibiotic resistance in enterobacteria from pigs
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat affecting humans, pets, livestock and plants. As antibiotic usage to prevent infections is commonplace in livestock farming, there is a significant pressure to adopt […]
Changing climate: A ‘threat multiplier’ for foodborne and waterborne infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance
Dr Aliyar Cyrus Fouladkhah of Tennessee State University is an Assistant Professor in Public Health Microbiology. His laboratory explores preventive measures for the spread of infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, and […]
Could functional oils solve the antibiotic resistance problem?
Antibiotics have traditionally been used to control disease in farmed animals, such as broiler chickens and cattle. However, with the rise in antibiotic resistance, many countries have banned the use of […]
Issue 126
Research Outreach continues to showcase research from a broad range of institutions around the globe. This issue we’re excited to shine a light on research from the World Health Organization. […]
Long-term outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Due to the degeneration of the knee joint in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), walking becomes difficult. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can restore the ability to walk. Several reports have […]
