NewsBreaking down bacterial barriers using bovine gut enzyme
A team of scientists has devised a way to break down biofilms which limit the entry of drugs and help bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, using an enzyme from the cow’s digestive tract.
-
NewsOne genomic test can diagnose nearly any infection
A genomic test to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use.
-
NewsNew study links historical redlining to delays in HIV treatment
A new study finds that historical race-based lending practices are still impacting health in the US today, linking these discriminatory policies to delays in effective HIV treatment within affected neighborhoods.
-
NewsScientists issue call to action underlining importance of microbial solutions to tackle climate crisis
Ahead of COP29, Applied Microbiology International (AMI) has partnered with leading global scientific organisations to issue a unified call to action, spotlighting microbial solutions as pivotal in combating climate change.
