UN General Assembly to hold High-level Interactive Dialogue on Antimicrobial Resistance – a global health and development threat
New York, 28 April – Calling for accelerated action to tackle the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the President of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, H.E. Mr. Volkan Bozkır, is convening a High-level Interactive Dialogue of the General Assembly on Antimicrobial Resistance on Thursday 29 April. World leaders, to be joined by UN experts, business and civil society leaders, are expected to discuss practical steps to address AMR in the midst of COVID-19 recovery plans.
“Antimicrobial Resistance is the invisible pandemic we ignore at our peril. Measures to tackle AMR must be central to future pandemic preparedness and COVID-19 recovery plans. The One Health approach will help us to better recognise the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and our shared environment so that we can m
CARB-X to fund development of drug to rejuvenate ineffective antibiotics
CARB-X announced today that it is awarding up to $2.2 million to the University of Queensland s Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) to continue developing new compounds designed to boost antibiotics that have become ineffective against drug-resistant bacterial infections.
The award will help fund IMB s octapeptins research program, which is developing octapeptin peptides that can disrupt the protective outer cell membrane of drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria, allowing antibiotics that have lost efficacy to work again. IMB researchers are currently trying to identify which antibiotics octapeptins are best at helping and can be combined with.

PM places six proposals before world to stop random use of antibiotics
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday urged global leaders to promote and ensure rational antimicrobial agents in human health, livestock, fisheries and agricultural sectors as the silently emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could endanger all the significant advances of modern medicine.
“Though the World Health Assembly resolution of 1998 decided to fight against this resistance, we’re far from reaching our goal to prevent this threat. As a result, we need to promote and ensure rational use of antimicrobial agents in human health, livestock, fisheries and agricultural sectors,” she said at the inaugural meeting of the One Health Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance, held virtually.
