Beyond the Frontlines – Tackling Drug Resistance in Conflict Zones - One Health Trust In this podcast, Dr. Aula Abbara discusses how armed conflict can exacerbate the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Wars, with bombing, shooting, dislocation, disruption, kill and maim people immediately. They also feed the rise of drug resistant #superbugs. Dr. Aula Abbara of @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social sees it firsthand #onehealth #amr #medsky onehealthtrust.org/news-media/p...

🧫 WHO now estimates 1 in 6 common bacterial infections worldwide is resistant to standard antibiotics, with resistance rising ~5–15% per year for many bug–drug pairs.
Without stewardship AMR could quietly undermine routine care.

Scientists Find New Antibiotic Target in Bacteria, Offering Hope for Superbug Treatment Researchers from Caltech have discovered a promising new target for antibiotics in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria, which are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths annually. The study reveals how bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, target MurJ, a protein crucial for constructing the bacterial cell wall. These viruses use specialized proteins, known as single-gene lysis proteins (Sgls), to lock MurJ in a fixed position, preventing it from completing its function and causing bacterial death. The findings, published in *Nature*, show that multiple unrelated viruses evolved similar strategies to inhibit MurJ, highlighting it as a potential target for future antibiotics. This discovery is seen as an important step in developing new treatments as existing antibiotics are losing effectiveness. The research points to the potential of utilizing phages to discover new antibacterial treatments, marking a breakthrough in the ongoing battle against superbugs.
