In the face of an escalating global health crisis, One Health demonstrates the power of collaborative, multidisciplinary action.
Read storyInfectious diseases (IDs) are a major health issue in Indonesia, as in many tropical low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), placing a significant economic burden on limited resources. Vaccination may have a critical role to play in the prevention of zoonotic infectious diseases.
Delve into the diverse array of bioactive compounds and uncover a mosaic of health-enhancing properties.
I’ll begin this article with a question that we’ll return to. Do microorganisms exhibit intelligence? Whilst it might not be able to gauge intelligence in single-celled organisms, a certain intelligent behaviour can be perceived. They possess the simplest chemical signalling pathways, yet are sophisticated enough to evade potential harm.
Researchers have found that repeated antibiotic use before age 2 is associated with a higher risk for asthma, food allergies and hay fever later in life. These findings also applied to siblings who had different experiences with antibiotics.
Read storyResearchers have detected alarming rates of Escherichia albertii in retail chicken meat in Bangladesh. Their findings show extensive contamination and significant antimicrobial resistance, underscoring the potential risks to public health.
Scientists have used advanced imaging techniques to provide a detailed look at how a tiny virus, known as a phage, invades Mycobacteria. The research could pave the way toward phage-based treatments for antibiotic-resistant mycobacteria.
Scientists have developed a computational tool, Argo, designed to accurately track ARGs in environmental samples, providing insights into their dissemination and associated risks.

The fight against AMR will require innovation, collaboration, and a fundamental shift in perspective – but it’s a fight we can win.
Read storyIs it acceptable to prioritize production over welfare?
The answer to antimicrobial resistance might not be the continual discovery of new antibiotics - but judicious use of the antibiotics and insights into antibiotic producing organisms we have already discovered.
What lessons can be learned about AMR from the development of cancer treatments?
In Neurodiversity Celebration Week, PhD student Joshua Yates reveals the challenges of pursuing a career in microbiology with autism and dyslexia - and his advice to others.
Read storyCEO at Presymptom Health, Dr. Iain Miller reveals how research in military laboratories - born out of battlefield demands - is now yielding innovative tech that allows for faster and more accurate detection of infections, even before symptoms appear.
Ojewale Ifeoluwa Florence reports back on her AMI-sponsored summer studentship which focused on the investigation of Actinobacteria found in local freshwater environments in Ogun State, Nigeria, under supervisor Dr. Amina Badmos.
One year into our first junior editor training programme with Letters in Applied Microbiology, Racheal Oluwayemisi Fashogbon reveals how signing up has helped to transform her career.
