Researchers seeking alternative means to foil antibiotic-resistant bacteria have found that a fatty acid found in ginger and turmeric reduces the ability of *Staphylococcus aureus* to adhere to mammalian tissue, limiting its ability to spread, but not killing it and so, perhaps, not inducing an adaptive response.

#AntibioticResistance among #germs swells during #droughts, study suggests
Experiments at Caltech found that dry soil—drought conditions—consistently select for and enrich antibiotic resistance in soil bacterial communities. More concerningly, researchers found that pro-resistance conditions in soil link to higher frequencies of #antibioticresistant infections in hospitals around the world. And with human-driven #climatechange, drought conditions are expected to increase.

"Ancient bacteria, trapped in caves for millions of years, live in a miniature world of terror. Their only food source is each other. The survival tactics they develop make them resistant to almost all antibiotics. Now scientists hope to use their tricks to inspire new drugs and treatments.
Deep underground, plunging 1604ft (489m) beneath the Chihuahuan Desert in southern New Mexico, lies the Lechuguilla Cave, a cavern which stretches on for 149 miles (240km). There is no light, and little to eat either. Any living thing must eke out an existence under conditions of near starvation."

Drought Leads to Increased Antibiotic-Resistant Microbes in Soils
A new Caltech study indicates that drought increases the abundances of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in soils, which directly correlates with an increase in antibiotic-resistant infections in hospitals. In other words, regions experiencing high aridity—hotter, drier regions—also experience higher levels of antibiotic-resistant infections. The work demonstrates the interconnectedness of climate, environment, and human health.

Is antibacterial or regular hand soap best for killing germs?
Cleaning up our disinfectants: usage of antimicrobial biocides in direct-to-consumer products in Australia Open Access
"In supermarkets and chemists worldwide, consumers are faced with an array of antimicrobial domestic cleaning and personal hygiene products purporting to kill germs and keep people safe. Many of these proven active ingredients (biocides) encourage the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microbes and microbial populations, in turn increasing the likelihood of AMR infections. In order to understand and address the selective pressure towards AMR posed by the unrestricted use of biocides, it is necessary to understand which biocides are most frequently found in consumer products and the current regulatory framework that governs their use. In this research we survey the biocidal active ingredients in the major categories of cleaning and personal care products available from supermarkets and pharmacies in Australia, and comment on the regulations that dictate how these products are tested and marketed. Benzalkonium chloride and ethanol were the two most prevalent antimicrobial biocides in this study, while triclosan, which is banned in several jurisdictions, was found in a small number of products. In Australia, many antimicrobial consumer products are regulated for efficacy and safety under the Therapeutic Goods Act, but the potential to drive microbial adaptation and AMR is not considered. Overall this survey underscores the broad use and light regulation of antimicrobial biocides in products available to the general public in Australia, and provides an information resource to inform further research and stewardship efforts." >>

Is antibacterial or regular hand soap best for killing germs?
Washing hands after using the toilet or patting a dog before a meal is crucial to remove feces-borne bacteria and germs. After COVID the message got through to most people. When one is in town looking for a public amenity or a cafe toilet, it is rare to find hot water, hand soap and a clean (paper) towel. But there is always a toilet spray in 1001 fragrance varieties.
In the absence of the ingredients for basic hand hygiene there is always a free plastic bottle of hand sanitizer since the last pandemic. Staff at grocers, bakers and cafes copiously cover their hands in the "antibacterial" and "antiseptic" products. Every product or packaging absorbs the persistent fragrance of the bought items and travels back into the home. The cost-effective chemical 'solution' does not substitute for hot water, soap and a towel.
"Professor Griffin says products claiming to kill bacteria are "not necessarily substantiated as being any better than just usual soap and water would be...These additives can be harsh and lead to dryness and cracked skin, which can create a pathway for germs to enter the body."
'Regular hand soap is very effective in removing potentially harmful pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites), according to our experts. So, using that water, soap and that pneumatic action to get all of the dirt and grime from your hands and then rinsing is going to be more than adequate to keep you healthy."
"Our experts say there have also been studies suggesting that the use of soaps with antimicrobial additives can contribute to antibiotic resistance, which is problematic." >>
