Wednesday, June 30, 2021

The significant fall in antibiotic use in food-producing animals suggests that the measures taken at country level to reduce use are proving to be effective.

Key Points: 
  • The significant fall in antibiotic use in food-producing animals suggests that the measures taken at country level to reduce use are proving to be effective.
  • Use of a class of antibiotics called polymyxins, which includes colistin, nearly halved between 2016 and 2018 in food-producing animals.
  • The report also identifies links between antimicrobial consumption in animals and AMR in bacteria from food-producing animals, which in turn is associated with AMR in bacteria from humans.
  • Experts found an association between resistance in these bacteria in animals and resistance in the same bacteria in humans.

NEW YORK, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a critical role in antibiotic tolerance, the innate ability of bacteria to survive normally lethal levels of antibiotics, a new study finds.

Key Points: 
  • NEW YORK, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a critical role in antibiotic tolerance, the innate ability of bacteria to survive normally lethal levels of antibiotics, a new study finds.
  • In one defense mechanism, tolerant bacteria, also called "persisters," stop multiplying (proliferating), reducing their energy use (metabolism) to survive antibiotic treatment, but resuming growth when the treatment ends.
  • Persisters are particularly abundant in biofilms, bacterial colonies that live in tough polymeric matrices which further prevent their eradication.
  • "New approaches are urgently neededto preventthis, and our study suggeststhatsuppressing bacterial H2S would make different antibiotics more potent."
