Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to grow as a global health threat, making infections harder to treat and leaving fewer options for patients. The need for new antibiotics is an urgent matter — but traditional discovery methods are slow and limited. In this episode of Let's Talk Micro, Luis is joined by Dr. James Collins, professor at MIT and researcher at the Broad Institute, who is leading efforts to apply AI to antibiotic discovery. We discuss how his team used deep learning to uncover promising new compounds, including NG1 and DN1, which showed activity against drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Staphylococcus aureus. We also talk about the challenges of bringing discoveries from computer models to the clinic, and what this approach could mean for the future of the fight against superbugs.   Link to study: https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674%2825%2900855-4   Check out the website: https://www.letstalkmicro.com/ Questions?

Could Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche's late-stage antibiotic trials signal new hope against antibiotic‐resistant pathogens? On this special REPLAY episode (originally aired August 2024), we take a deep dive into the state of antimicrobial resistance, from hospital wards to farm fields. As these microscopic threats drive up healthcare costs, jeopardize food security, and reshape insurance risk worldwide, understanding the crisis has never been more critical. But while the need to act is clear, the solutions remain complex. In this episode, we examine whether there's a compelling investment case for fighting back, and what that could mean for the future of global health.Host: Bentley KaplanGuest: Namita Nair

 After 2050, more people will die from infection/inflammation than from cancer.The reasons are that through the antibiotic in the food, the bacteria become more and more resistant to the antibiotic, and the overuse of disinfection.The food industry is feeding our animals with an antibiotic since over 50years.Because through antibiotic the animals grow faster and are protected against diseases. In the meantime, a bacteria (Superbug), has developed that can kill everybody and is resistant to the antibiotic or any other common disinfection. If we are under intense stress or our immune system is weak the Superbug has the chance to grow in our body and to kill us!! In the future, antibiotic will not work anymore because we can't increase the doses of antibiotic anymore and the bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic.    For instance, in Germany dying 14,000 People through a Superbug infection which they got in a hospital… Why? The hospitals grow the Superbug like crazy through the overuse of disinfection and antibiotic. The disinfection and antibiotics kill healthy bacteria and give room for the Superbug.And this also comes true for shrimps farms in Asia….Instead to use clean, purified water they put an antibiotic in the water of the shrimps.  In Canada, they have done a survive for the Superbug in shrimps. Even the Canadian government thought it is enough to check for an antibiotic in our food. It is not allowed in Canada to sell food with an antibiotic. The survive checked for the 1.) Superbug,2.) for bacteria that produce ESBL strains to neutralize antibiotic, and3.) for bacteria that are multi-resistance of a different antibiotic.The results have been shocking!The Sciences bought from the supermarket 50 different packages of frozen shrimps mainly from Asia. And then they tested the packages for bacteria. The results:1.) 17% of the packages contained the Superbug even one product was from an organic farm or was a high certified product. 2.) 33% of the boxes contained bacteria that produce ESBL strains to neutralize antibiotic.3.) 88% of the packages contained bacteria that are multi-resistance of a different antibiotic.What is if you think that you don't care because you cook the shrimps?And now comes the problem…When you prepare the shrimps, the Superbugs are all over the place in the kitchen and maybe also on your body and the bodies of your family…. The Superbug can survive for months on the floor or on the spice containers or on the kitchen cabinet….What is if even in your chicken, poultry, pork, seafood, or beef are the Superbug? Imagine you buy seafood, you cut it, and cut the salad with this knife… Then you can have the Superbug in your salad and finally in your gut!  What is if you eat probiotic as fermented vegetables with this salad? Then the probiotic can kill the Superbug! And this I proof again and again that you have to eat probiotic every day!!!!!!My Video: How the antibiotic can kill us?! https://youtu.be/x-fLN8HqUGo My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/How-the-antibiotic-can-kill-us.mp3

In the second episode of our miniseries on infectious disease diagnostics, Jonathan is joined by molecular epidemiologist Rodney Rohde, Regents' Professor at Texas State University, USA. Together, they explore diagnostic innovations in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, gaps in zoonotic disease detection, and the persistent challenge of vaccine hesitancy. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 01:45 – Breakthroughs in molecular diagnostics 08:30 – Diagnostic tools to combat superbugs 14:18 – Can bacteriophages replace antibiotics? 19:04 – Controlling rabies and hantavirus 28:33 – Diagnostic successes and failures from COVID-19 35:22 – How do we address vaccine hesitancy? 44:10 – Preparing for the next pandemic 47:03 – Rohde's three wishes for healthcare

 Finally, there is a remedy, even invented 100 years ago…Called Phages bacterial treatmentWhat is Phage Therapy?Phages, formally known as bacteriophages, are viruses that solely kill and selectively target bacteria. They are the most common biological entities in nature and have been shown to effectively fight and destroy multi-drug resistant bacteria. Namely, when all antibiotics fail, phages still succeed in killing the bacteria and may save a life from an infection.The phage virus needs a host where it can spread its eggs. The host is that specific bacteria that you want to kill. The phage virus injects its eggs inside that bacteria. The eggs grow to that phage virus and kill the bacteria… Thousands of new phage viruses search for the correct bacteria …  Imagine that… After a short time, all the bacteria are killed. The problem is to find the correct phage virus to kill that specific bacteria or even the Superbug. And that can be done because you find the phage virus everywhere… At least in garbage places or water filtering systems.  The main concern for all of us now is the alarming rate of increasing 'superbugs' that are resistant to most — if not all — antibiotics, as well as the impact they will have on human health and the longevity of life. These issues, combined with a lack of regulation to approve the process of phage therapy for anything less than an absolute, no-alternative emergency, pose a serious concern for us. We hope that through our work here at PATH, we can make this treatment more widely available to save lives where no other treatments could.My Video: How to kill dangerous bacteria like the Superbugs? https://youtu.be/H_BSLJ8bzfQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/How-to-kill-dangerous-bacteria-like-the-Superbugs.mp3

एंटीबायोटिक की खोज मानव जाति के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण क्षण था। इससे इंसानों का जीवनकाल बढ़ा और स्वास्थ्य सेवा में क्रांतिकारी बदलाव आया क्योंकि लोग अब मामूली चोटों और संक्रमणों के कारण नहीं मर रहे थे। लेकिन अब एक नया खतरा मंडरा रहा है - सुपरबग बैक्टीरिया अब तक खोजे गए एंटीबायोटिक्स के प्रति तेजी से प्रतिरोधी होते जा रहे हैं। एंटीबायोटिक प्रतिरोध को तेजी से बढ़ाने वाले कारण क्या हैं? इस छिपी हुई महामारी को रोकने के लिए क्या किया जा सकता है? माइक्रोबायोलॉजिस्ट और ‘व्हेन द ड्रग्स डोंट वर्क' के लेखक अनिर्बान महापात्रा इस विषय को सरल बनाने और एंटीबायोटिक्स के उपयोग और दुरुपयोग से जुड़े कई मिथकों को तोड़ने के लिए हमारे साथ इस पुलियाबाज़ी पर जुड़ें। आप भी गौर से सुनिए और अगर बातें काम की लगें तो अपने परिवारजनों के साथ साझा करें। The discovery of antibiotics was a pivotal moment for humankind. Lifespan increased and healthcare was revolutionized as people were no longer dying due to minor injuries and infections. But now, there is a real danger of losing the evolutionary arms race with superbug bacterias, who are increasingly becoming resistant to the antibiotics we have discovered so far.

Antibiotics have been hailed as a "miracle drug" since the discovery of penicillin in 1928. But now, more bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics, making them difficult or nearly impossible to treat. One recent study estimated that these so-called “superbugs” could cause nearly 40 million deaths worldwide between now and 2050. Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks to researchers exploring the use of naturally occurring viruses that destroy bacteria, to see if they can be used as an alternative treatment method when all else fails, and before time runs out.

Years ago, I contracted a staph infection in my eye. And the one thing I learned from my doctor was that they had to guess the type of infection to create the antibiotics to treat it. I got lucky, and they cured the infection and saved my eye. My doctor explained how these viruses happen and how tricky they are to cure. Researchers are concerned about the increasing occurrence of bacterial infections. They fear that these so-called superbugs will appear more frequently. Researchers think these infections will kill tens of millions of people in the next 25 years...

Antimicrobial resistance is getting worse. Set to impact healthcare, agriculture and insurance, it's a phenomenon worth paying attention to. On this episode, we take a look at whether there's an investment case for fighting back against the superbugs. Host: Bentley Kaplan, MSCI ESG ResearchGuest: Namita Nair, MSCI ESG Research

Dr. Nour Shamas knows about antimicrobial resistance. As a clinical pharmacist, she was trained in how to dispense drugs to treat infections, and her graduate studies in global health policy made her aware of the threat of antimicrobial resistance, or AMR. Antimicrobial resistance develops when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites evolve the ability to shake off the effects of drugs developed to fight them. It's one of the biggest threats to humanity – such a serious threat that the United Nations General Assembly is holding a meeting devoted to the subject. Shamas helps lead the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She knows about the need to preserve the drugs that still work against the many infections that threaten human life. But the issue of AMR got personal for her when her mother developed a urinary tract infection after surgery and a hospital stay. Shamas found herself working with her mother's doctors, and battling to explain to her mother how she could have developed such an infection in the first place. She also found herself fighting to get the right treatment for her mother, who lives in Lebanon, a country struggling with economic challenges, conflict, and a fragile, underfunded, and overloaded healthcare system. Now, as a member of the World Health Organization's AMR Survivors Task Force, she tells the story of how her mother still fights recurrent infections. Listen as she shares some of her story with One World, One Health. 

An estimated 7.7 million people die from bacterial infections a year around the world. A growing number of these deaths are caused by bacteria that have developed antibiotic resistance – the ability to thrive in the face of antibiotics. This ability of germs to defy the effects of drugs is called antimicrobial resistance, or AMR. But why wait to treat these infections after they've happened? It's far better to prevent them from happening in the first place. Dr. Joseph Lewnard, an associate professor of Epidemiology at the School of Public Health at the University of California Berkeley, is studying ways to prevent infections. Vaccines, better hygiene and sanitation, clean water, and proper and careful use of antibiotics and antivirals can all play a role. Many governments have done far too little to protect their citizens from infections, Lewnard says. “This has not necessarily been a shining success story,” he says in this episode of One World, One Health. He helped write one of a series of papers in the Lancet medical journal looking at the problem of drug-resistant superbugs. The numbers are significant. “Improving infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities including better hand hygiene and more regular cleaning and sterilization of equipment, could save up to 337,000 lives a year,” they write. They estimated that clean water and sanitation could save another quarter million lives each year.“Access to improved sanitation facilities (defined as toilets that are not shared with other households and are connected to piped sewer systems or septic tanks) reduces diarrhea incidence by 47 percent,” they point out. Listen as Dr. Lewnard explains some of the other findings to One World, One Health host Maggie Fox.  Learn more about the struggle to control drug-resistant bacteria, viruses, and fungi in some of our other episodes. We've spoken with experts about how vaccines can help prevent the spread of drug-resistant germs, about tracking superbugs in sewage, and the surprising rise of drug-resistant fungi. Experts in drug design have talked to us about the search for new and better antibiotics and how these little organisms are winning an arms race against us. Filmmakers have told us about how storytelling can help people understand the threat while global health specialists explained that good stewardship can keep the antibiotics we have working as they should. We've even investigated superbug mysteries, like the case of the killer eyedrops.
