33,000: the number of deaths in Europe caused by antibiotic-resistant infections in 2015. Surprisingly, this new study found that 1/3 of these deaths were in Italy.

How much should we worry about phage-induced spreading of antibiotic resistance? This review by Clara Torres-Barceló lays out some contrasting viewpoints and data on the matter.

It's World Antibiotic Awareness Week! This is a WHO campaign to educate the public about antimicrobial resistance. The Wellcome Trust is bringing together 300 scientists, politicians, civil society and industry leaders and academics to talk

A recent re-estimation of annual deaths caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) has come up with a number almost 7 times higher than the CDC estimate made in 2010. This suggests a need for better surveillance and reporting systems fo

Anushila Chatterjee and colleagues published a new preprint showing that phage resistance in enterococci leads to reduced antibiotic resistance and reduced mouse gut colonization.
