- October 11, 2019Rising antibiotic resistance is giving doctors fewer treatment options.
NJTV News– October 11, 2019. Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan told an audience at the Princeton Global Health Program that the more antibiotics are used to treat infections, the more bacteria evolve and learn to respond to — or resist — drugs. With increased access to antibiotics in some South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa countries, antibiotic resistance deaths are […]

Axios– September 24, 2019. Meanwhile, a study out last week in Science developed a geospatial model using data from 901 point-prevalence surveys around the world between 2000 and 2018 examining rates of antibiotic resistance in animals and food products in E. coli, Campylobacter spp., non-typhoidal Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus. Study co-author Ramanan Laxminarayan says they found there was a triple increase in antibiotic resistance risk in food animals […]
