New global estimates show that in 2019, nearly 5 million human deaths worldwide were associated with bacterial AMR, of which 1.3 million human deaths were directly attributable to bacterial AMR. In a high-impact scenario, AMR will reduce global annual GDP by 3.8 per cent by 2050.
Despite the fact that social relationships are crucial for the health and well-being of social animals like humans and other primates, there is mounting evidence that the gut microbiome, via the so-called "gut-brain axis," is equally important for both our physical and mental wellbeing. Also
According to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators, a typical gut bacterium that can spread through the body and cause a serious infection resists natural immune defences and antibiotics by enhancing its protective outer layer, known as the cell envelope.
According to a recent investigation that was published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, among young US citizens between the ages of 15 and 44, the chance of dying from infectious endocarditis has increased by a factor of two over the past two decades.
A nutrient that is common in the human diet has been found to aid the survival of a cancer-causing bacterium, a new Yale study finds. The findings could reveal an important target for new drugs to tackle numerous infectious diseases in humans.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a.) are resistant to most antibiotics and cause life-threatening infections of wounds or the lungs. The P.a. bacteria species has an entire arsenal of strategies for evading the immune system and infecting tissue. Researchers working with Prof. Dr. Winfried Romer an
The foods we eat on a regular basis influence the makeup of the bacteria -- both good and bad -- in our mouths. And researchers are finding that this collective of bacteria known as the oral microbiome likely plays a large role in our overall health, in addition to its previously known assoc
