- November 14, 2019Climate change increasing threats from Vibrio bacteria: Study.
Down To Earth– November 14, 2019. Bacteria can be found everywhere — in air, water, soil and even food. As part of the natural process, a continuous transfer of chemical nutrients with the ecosystems, “bacteria are pushed to grow, encouraged to mutate and often undergo genetic changes that help them escape the very antibiotics that […]

- November 2, 2019As deadly ‘superbugs’ outsmart antibiotics, a Penn scientist uses artificial intelligence to design new ones
The Philadelphia Inquirer-November 2, 2019. Big drug companies steer clear of developing new antibiotics largely because the drugs are not moneymakers, said Eili Klein, a senior fellow at the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy, a think tank with offices in Washington and New Delhi. By nature, the drugs are designed to be used for […]

Food Tank– November 2019. A recent study published in the journal Science finds antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in food animals or livestock raised for meat, has nearly tripled in low- and middle-income countries since 2000. Led by the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP), scientists examined the proportion of animals which showed rates of resistance higher than 50 percent: “a […]

Research Matters-October 22, 2019. A recent set of studies by a team of international researchers, led by those at the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP), Washington DC and New Delhi, have shown that vaccines can have other unintentional positive effects. They show that measles and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine can have long-term […]

Consumer & Society-October 14, 2019. Researcher Ramanan Laxminarayan noted: “This paper is the first to track antibiotic resistance in animals globally and it finds that resistance has gone up dramatically over the last 18 years. We certainly do want higher-protein diets for many people, but if this comes at the cost of failing antibiotics, then we […]

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 […]
