New implants linked to less infection and better recovery from orthopedic surgery
Superior knee and hip replacements are a step closer after researchers further test and develop a new orthopedic implant coating which has the strong ability to ward off infection – as well as stimulate bone growth.
Researchers secure $2 million grant to develop airborne pathogen-monitoring technology
Scientists have received a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue their fight against airborne pathogens by developing engineered living systems for indoor air monitoring.
Broccoli molecule could shape immune defense against Cryptosporidium
Researchers have discovered that a common dietary supplement could protect against chronic Cryptosporidium infections which are particularly prevalent in children under two and in areas with poorer sanitation.
Ice core proposal could revolutionise antibiotic discovery
A perspective article outlines a revolutionary approach to antibiotic discovery using ice cores, at a time when antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is projected to cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis may be under-diagnosed, reveals genomic analysis
This genomic sequencing study, in southern Mozambique, is the first to characterise the drug resistance profile at the population level and identify mutations that escape routine diagnostic tests.
World Soil Day: AMI’s focus on the microbes beneath our feet
