Coloniser' microbes to superbugs: How antibiotic resistance behaves
Briefly

Dr. Sylvia Omulo emphasizes the need for new solutions against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which poses a global health threat and can revert us to a pre-antibiotic era.
The World Health Organization warns that antimicrobial resistance could lead to millions of deaths each year, especially affecting low- and middle-income countries as infections become untreatable.
As she studies harmless microbes, Dr. Omulo identifies key genes that link to antimicrobial resistance, providing insights into susceptibility and the distribution of resistance traits.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus alerts that losing effective antibiotics threatens a century of medical progress and could turn treatable infections into death sentences for vulnerable populations.
