#KnowledgeByte: #Antibiotic #Resistance, a subset of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), is a serious public health problem.
Antibiotic resistance is increasing globally due to increased prescription and dispensing of antibiotic drugs in many countries.

How #climatechange may increase #antibioticresistance
#Climate boosted #antibiotic resistance among bacteria found in artificially warmed grassland soils, researchers report April 22 in Nature. And as drought strips the soil of moisture, #antibiotics in the environment become concentrated in the little water that remains, encouraging the growth of resistant #microbes, another team reports in the April Nature Microbiology.

Rabbit folks...
George started displaying symptoms of his upper respiratory infection coming back. The vet had previously said that he might live the rest of his life with a low-level infection, but I don't know if this counts as low-level, so I'm taking him back to the vet tomorrow, the soonest I could get him in.
I'm wondering if any of you are particularly knowledgeable about antibiotics in our buns? I've always heard from vets that there were only "a couple" that were appropriate for rabbit use, but the House Rabbit Society - rabbit.org - has this article which lists a bunch more (it also includes a bunch you can't use). Anyone have any opinions on this?
https://rabbit.org/health/appropriate-use-of-antibiotics-in-rabbits/George has already been through enrofloxacin ("Baytril") with steroids when he was at the Small Animal Clinic in Saskatoon last fall, and then oral ciprofloxacin ("Ciloxan") and injected penicillin from two more rounds from our vet here in town. Obviously getting a culture done to confirm what drug will affect it will be best, and I'll try for that, but I'm wondering whether I should be pushing for any of the other medications from this article if they just want to do more of what he's already had so far.
[argh: hit some key combination which lost long message I'd typed; apologies if this re-write sounds frustrated]

In new research, Yu-Ying Phoebe Hsieh , Ian O’Keefe, Ajai Dandekar, Harmit Malik &co reveal how magnesium sequestration by C. albicans enables P. aeruginosa to evolve much higher levels of resistance to colistin (a last-resort #antibiotic).

@fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!
In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.
I feel

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/27/antibiotic-meat-production. Do #American #farmers not care that their absurd overuse of #antibiotics is creating #antibiotic #resistance, & on a massive scale? Unfortunately for #consumers of US meat & poultry, that resistance isn't confined to veterinary #diseases.

The increased prevalence of #antibiotic resistance could make common #infections deadly again, which presents a threat to worldwide public health. Researchers have developed the first directed evolution-based method capable of evolving synthetic condensates and soluble disordered proteins that could eventually reverse antibiotic resistance.

New antibiotic for Clostridioides difficile infections: The groups of Nathaniel Martin of our @LED3hub and of Wiep Klaas Smits of the LUMC published the powerful semisynthetic guanidino lipoglycopeptide EVG7 to treat Clostridioides difficile infections. While I saved #antibiotic discovery for last, there is surely still a high need for new antibiotics, may they be natural products, semisynthetic derivatives or fully synthetic compounds. (11/12)

Important “News in Focus” article by Katie Kavanagh in Nature. Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are a major threat to human health, which we can only address by reducing over- and misuse of antibiotics and investing more in #antibiotic research.
