Antimicrobial resistance affects human and animal health because it causes untreatable infections. Read which research ZonMw is funding. - Afbeelding
Read how ZonMw develops and disseminates evidence-based knowledge of infectious disease to reduce the burden of disease and its impact on society. - The rapid spread of multidrug resistant bacteria threatens the treatment of even simple infections in the near future. However, little is known about how bacteria develop resistance on surfaces.AimThe aim of this project was to investigate fundamental mechanisms that shape antimicrobial resistance in biofilms in relation to the surface and then translate those findings into clinical practice…
- Read how this project gained more insight into the resistance mechanisms of pneumococci, particularly the environmental, immunological and pharmacological factors.
- Urgent action is required to stem the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, because the pace of novel drug development lags behind the evolution of novel AMR determinants, new strategies of containment are required.MethodIn this multinational project proposal, researchers have worked on a resistance-reversal strategy based on the concept of collateral sensitivity (CS). CS between a…
- View this project about measuring antibiotic levels with therapeutic drug monitoring to prevent increases in antimicrobial resistance.
- Read how researchers will determine if the use of biocides has a selective effect on antimicrobial resistance.
- Inappropriate use of antimicrobials can lead to antimicrobial resistance. Read how this project contributes to effective antimicrobial stewardship.
- Researchers will develop a strategy for implementation of an appropriate booklet for parents of children with fever to reduce antibiotic use.
- Read how this project contributes to the implementation and updates of tools in long-term care.
- Bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics. This is an immediate threat to health care in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Recent studies show that, in Europe alone, more than 30.000 individuals die every year due to an infection with an antibiotic-resistant bacterium.AimThis project studied the pathways by which resistant bacteria can emerge in complex ecosystems, in which they can…
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is characterised by clonal spread. MRSA clones are unequally distributed across the world and different clones are dominant at different times. AimThe MACOTRA project studied the interaction between MRSA, humans and the environment. The researchers used mathematical models to gain a better understanding of MRSA dynamics.ResultsA main predictor of…
