Mashup Score: 40Report suggests lower antibiotic use in Europe led to less antimicrobial resistance - 2 month(s) ago
University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 A multi-agency report ties a reduction in antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in Europe to a decrease in overall antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in people and farm animals from 2014 to 2021. The fourth joint report on integrated analyses of AMC was published yesterday in the EFSA Journal by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Mashup Score: 0With global initiatives, CDC aims to stop resistant pathogens before they cross borders - 8 month(s) ago
University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 A supplement published last month in Clinical Infectious Diseases provides a window into the evolving picture of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries and how it’s been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The supplem ent includes 17 papers that show substantial increases in broad-spectrum antibiotic use, multidrug-resistant infections, and previously uncommon resistance genes in hospitals in Latin America during

Mashup Score: 0Chronic wound healing using glass - 10 month(s) ago
Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., investigated the effects of bioactive glass doped with ionic silver on biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a multi-drug resistant bacterium that easily forms biofilms and is a common cause of infection in chronic wounds. The study showed that specific preparation, storage and application techniques can minimise the transformation of…
