Community engagement: The key to tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) across a One Health context?

Global Public Health, 2021
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a One Health problem underpinned by complex drivers and behaviours. This is particularly so in low – and middle-income countries (LMICs), where social and systemic factors fuel (mis)use and drive AMR.

Hydrogen Sulfide Sensitizes Acinetobacter baumannii to Killing by Antibiotics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The production of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been shown to confer antibiotic tolerance in all bacteria studied to date. Therefore, this mediator has been speculated to be a universal defense mechanism against antibiotics in bacteria.

A rapid simple point-of-care assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies

Communications Medicine, 2021
Kongsuphol et al. develop a paper-based, vertical flow assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies. The point-of-care assay has comparable performance to lab-based tests and provides results in 10 min.
