Too much loving: Being overly affectionate with pets can be “life-threatening,” warns researcher

October 13, 2019 -

This study, published in the journal Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine, found that some forms of affectionate behavior towards pets, like kissing or cuddling, can pose an antibiotic or antimicrobial resistance risk (AMR) to families and their animals.

“This paper is the first of its kind to explore the meaning of affectionate human-companion animal relationships and its importance in understanding the determinants of a range of AMR-related [behavior],” ...

STUDY: Use of “last-resort” antibiotic colistin in animal feed driving global spread of superbugs

March 29, 2023 -

The drug causes an increase in proliferation of superbugs when used in livestock feed, the study found. In 2015, there was global alarm when a colistin-resistant superbug was discovered.

According to the piece, colistin is still being sold by richer nations to farmers in places such as Pakistan to boost growth and prevent the spread of disease, despite warnings from experts that its use in animal feed should be banned.

Antimicrobial resistance up in animals raised for human consumption, warns study

February 15, 2021 -

In particular, the authors noted that antimicrobial resistance in bacteria found in livestock grown in low to medium-income countries has nearly tripled since 2000. This increase could be linked to the overconsumption of meat and meat products and could have serious consequences for human health.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), antimicrobial resistance is a threat to preventing and treating an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, ...

Researchers investigate green tea compounds that may help resolve antibiotic resistance

November 02, 2020 -

But EGCG has another activity, as noted by the team in their report, which appeared in the Journal of Medical Microbiology: The compound increases the bacterium’s permeability, which allows antibiotics to pass through more easily. This ability could prove helpful in the fight against multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria.

The team discovered this ability after combining EGCG with aztreonam, an antibiotic commonly used to fight off infections caused by Pseudomonas ...

Researchers investigate the antimicrobial efficacy and cytotoxicity of South African plants from the Myrtacea family

MEDICAL SCIENCE WARNING: Lung transplant recipients develop respiratory distress and organ rejection after second dose of covid-19 vaccine

November 18, 2022 -

Three female lung transplant recipients suffer respiratory distress caused by the covid-19 vaccines

A majority of lung transplant recipients (LTR) do not respond to the first dose of covid-19 mRNA. Short term antibody responses to the spike protein mRNA are observed after the second dose. In this case series, three patients actually developed “new and significant respiratory compromise after their 2nd vaccine dose.” The respiratory distress was consistent with antibody mediated ...

STD superbugs spreading like wildfire … One exposure and you’re infected for life

June 14, 2019 -

The World Health Organization warns that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has the potential to be more deadly than cancer, with the ability to kill as many as 10 million people a year. In addition to costing the world economy upwards of $100 trillion annually, left unchecked, AMR threatens to reverse all the health gains and longer lifespans that antibiotics made possible in the 20th century.

As reported by the U.K.’s Independent, the latest superbugs to ...

Doctors overprescribing antibiotics without risk assessment, fueling superbug threat, study reveals

April 04, 2025 -

Doctors across England are prescribing antibiotics indiscriminately, often ignoring critical risk factors such as age and underlying health conditions, according to a groundbreaking University of Manchester study of 15.7 million patient records.

Published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, the research reveals that younger, healthier patients—who could recover naturally—are routinely given unnecessary antibiotics, while elderly patients ...

Coronavirus pandemic exacerbates antimicrobial resistance woes as ignorant doctors throw antibiotics at hospitalized patients

June 11, 2021 -

The study published in the Lancet found that 85 percent of coronavirus (COVID-19) patients admitted to National Health Service (NHS) hospitals during the first wave of the pandemic had been prescribed antibiotics. But the majority of the 48,902 patients involved in the study did not need or benefit from antibiotics as secondary bacterial infections are very rare in COVID-19 patients.

For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that in 2014, nearly half-a-million people died from tuberculosis, which was caused by a multi-drug resistant bacterium. The agency also states that AMR is beginning to complicate the fight against HIV and malaria.

While new and effective antimicrobials are difficult to develop, scientists have pinpointed plants as potential new sources. Studies show that extracts from certain plants have strong antimicrobial ...

The misuse of antibiotics in industrial agriculture is accelerating the rise of drug-resistant "superbugs," now responsible for 1.14 million deaths globally each year — a figure projected to rise to 8.22 million by 2050 if current trends continue. Despite these dire warnings, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to prioritize corporate interests over public health, gutting oversight while appointing industry insiders to key regulatory positions.
