- 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…
- Read how the COMBAT-AMR project will develop a standardised toolbox specifically for designing antibiotic combination treatments.
- Read how this project gained more insight into the resistance mechanisms of pneumococci, particularly the environmental, immunological and pharmacological factors.
- Read how researchers will create an implementation tool to improve compliance with infection prevention measures by physicians in hospitals.
- Read how researchers will determine if the use of biocides has a selective effect on antimicrobial resistance.

The JPIAMR celebrated 10 years of international research into antimicrobial resistance. View the JPIAMR-project results. - 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…
- Infections caused by bacteria resistant to most antibiotics (so-called multidrug resistant bacteria) remain a global problem. The lack of new antibiotics is a major social problem and threat to human and animal health.AimIn this antimicrobial discovery project, researchers focused on developing novel antibiotics for the highly virulent and antibiotic-resistant human pathogens (called the ESKAPE…
