Antimicrobial crisis has emerged as a major public health challenge worldwide In a development that could reshape the fight against drug-resistant infections, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay have unveiled a novel way to make existing antibiotics work again. Instead of trying to invent entirely new drugs, the team has focused on protecting the ones already in use. Their approach uses tiny, lab-made DNA fragments to block the tricks bacteria use to evade treatment ...Read More >
Hyderabad: A joint study by the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) has revealed a significant rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among bacteria causing eye infections, raising concerns about treatment effectiveness and patient safety. The study found that more than 45 per cent of bacterial samples collected from patients showed resistance to multiple antibiotics. This trend was observed across both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, ...Read More >
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], April 7 (ANI): Researchers from the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and the LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) came together in a collaborative study that uncovered alarming levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria causing eye infections. The study, published in Communications Biology, represents one of the most comprehensive genomic analyses of eye pathogens from India to date. Drs Karthik Bharadwaj and Divya Tej Sowpati from CSIR-C ...Read More >
Srinagar, Apr 01: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a diverse group of conditions characterised by some degree of difficulty with social interaction and communication. Other characteristics are atypical patterns of activities and behaviours, such as difficulty with transition from one activity to another, a focus on details and unusual reactions to sensations. As the world observes World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, conversations around child development, screen exposure, and neurodevelopm ...Read More >
BHUBANESWAR: India's health in 2047 will be the key to a Viksit Bharat, said Union minister of state for Science and Technology (independent charge) Dr Jitendra Singh on Thursday. Addressing the national conclave on longitudinal cohort studies (Cohort Connect 2025) at IMMT, he emphasised that India must generate strong, long-term and country-specific health evidence to guide preventive and clinical decision-making. "Indian treatment for Indian patients, Indian prevention strategy for Indian sub ...Read More >
A monumental increase of more than 400% in infections from a dangerous drug-resistant bacteria known as New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE) suggests a growing risk for life-threatening illnesses and deaths with limited treatment options, based on two recent reports. New data in the Annals of Internal Medicine and the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) show spikes in NDM-CRE, a type of gram-negative bacteria often treated wit ...Read More >
Gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab joins 'Fox & Friends' to examine a new study on the effects of pathogenic gut bacteria and tips for limiting exposure to harmful bacteria. Human infections from drug-resistant bacteria are spiking in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned. The CDC's laboratory tests have shown that occurrences of a bacteria called NDM-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE) have increased dramatically. NDM-CRE belongs to a bro ...Read More >
This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. NDM-CRE infections have been historically uncommon in the United States, the CDC said. The NDM gene - which was first identified in 2008 from a Swedish patient who had been hospitalized in New Delhi - creates an enzyme that destroys most antibiotics, including so-called carbapenems, which are usually used in last-ditch efforts to save patients with infections that fail to respond to standard antibiotics, The Washington Pos ...Read More >
New Delhi: Economic think tank GTRI on Saturday cautioned that allowing genetically modified (GM) farm products from the US under the proposed trade pact would have implications for India, as it may affect the country's agri exports to regions like the European Union. India and the US are negotiating an interim trade pact, which is expected to be announced before July 9. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that allowing the import of GM products such as soybean meal and distillers ...Read More >

New Delhi: Men with cardiovascular disease risk factors such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and smoking may have brain health decline, leading to dementia, 10 years earlier than women, finds a study on Wednesday. The findings of a long-term study, published online in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, showed that men with cardiovascular disease risk factors can have dementia onset a decade earlier -- from their mid-50s to mid-70s -- than similarly affec ...Read More >
