Microbiota at the forefront of antibiotic resistance
The largescale and sometimes inappropriate use of antibiotics is making them increasingly ineffective in the treatment of infections, with many bacteria now antibiotic resistant. As a result, by 2050, infectious diseases may become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Analysis of a major global health problem and its impact on the microbiota.

To mark the WHO's annual World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, The Biocodex Microbiota Institute takes stock.
Each year, since 2015, the WHO organizes the World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), which aims to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance.
Held on 18-24 November, this campaign encourages the general public, healthcare professionals and decision-makers to use antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics carefully, to prevent the further emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Prof. Sørensen sheds light on it
Meet Professor Sørensen, 2022 Biocodex Microbiota Foundation International Grant Winner. His team pioneered an ambitious study on the resistome of 700 children that will facilitate a breakthrough in the understanding of the evolution and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in the early life human gut.
