Improving evidence for action is crucial to tackle antimicrobial resistance. The number of interventions for antimicrobial resistance is increasing but current research has major limitations in terms of efforts, methods, scope, quality, and reportin

The western corn rootworm, a major insect pest in the Midwestern United States, has evolved resistance to genetically engineered corn that produces insecticidal proteins derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). To evaluate tactics for

Development of new biocides has dominated human responses to evolution of antibiotic and pesticide resistance. Increasing and uniform biocide use, the spread of resistance genes, and the lack of new classes of compounds indicate the importance of na

July is here, and so is the heat! This month at The AMR Studio we bring you the work of Dr. Peter Jørgensen, from the Stockholm Resilience Center. Listen to this episode to learn about what resilience means, how it is related to AMR and how an evolutionary biology perspective can help achieve a more sustainable future. In the news section, we cover a recent published work looking into the background understanding and explanations of AMR in the public, plus an exciting update on how the promising teixobactin antibiotic works. Special thanks in this episode to Isa Moreno, who did a terrific job editing the interview, and big big congratulations to Jenny, who just had her first kid a week before the release of this episode (and a week after the last recording!). We hope you enjoy this month's episode and to have you back here with us next month! Check relevant links and material at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode20/.
