Antimicrobial Resistance: A Growing Serious Threat for Global Public Health
Healthcare, 2023 Antibiotics are among the most important discoveries of the 20th century, having saved millions of lives from infectious diseases. Microbes have developed acquired antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to many drugs due to high selection pressure from ...

Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine, 2020 We are living in a time of enormous risk. Years of antibiotic overuse and misuse has contributed to a global threat, where an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria are contributing to approximately 700,000 deaths per year. International institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UK government are calling for new antibiotics ...

Pharmaceuticals, 2013 The rapid increase in drug-resistant infections has presented a serious challenge to antimicrobial therapies. The failure of the most potent antibiotics to kill “superbugs” emphasizes the urgent need to develop other control agents. Here we review the history and new development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a growing class of natural and synthetic

Antimicrobial Chemokines [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Chemokines are best known for their classic leukocyte chemotactic activity, which is critical for directing the immune response to sites of infection and injury. However, recent studies have suggested that at least some chemokines may also interfere with infectious agents directly.

Current Biology, 2016 Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) are a diverse class of naturally occurring molecules that are produced as a first line of defense by all multicellular organisms. These proteins can have broad activity to directly kill bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses and even cancer cells.

Metals to combat antimicrobial resistance
Nature Reviews Chemistry, 2023 Bacteria, similar to most organisms, have a love–hate relationship with metals: a specific metal may be essential for survival yet toxic in certain forms and concentrations.
