Underuse, Overuse: The Dual Crisis of Antibiotic Resistance
As scientists continue to sound the alarm about antibiotic overuse driving antimicrobial resistance, new research shows how the crisis is also being exacerbated by the opposite problem: lack of antibiotic access.
Overuse: show how globally just 52% of antibiotics prescribed fell under the 鈥渁ccess鈥� category of first and second-line antibiotics. That rate should be closer to 70%, per WHO targets, but many patients are receiving antibiotics for more severe infections, .
Underuse: Meanwhile, lack of access to the correct antibiotics is further driving the spread of superbugs, , which found that <7% of people with severe infections in poorer countries get the necessary antibiotics, .
Stewardship and innovation: The crisis must be addressed by improving both access to a wider spectrum of antibiotics, and by implementing stewardship policies, .
The authors of the underuse study said stewardship is not enough: Low- and middle-income countries need new drugs and antibiotic innovation.
China is redoubling its claim that COVID-19 may have originated in the U.S., in a white paper about its own pandemic response released this week, following the Trump administration鈥檚 launch of a website that blames the pandemic on a lab leak in China.
Sierra Leone has launched a widespread mpox vaccination campaign as cases of the virus surge; the country has confirmed 763 cases, with 177 recorded in a two-day period last week.
Depression, schizophrenia and other mental health conditions could be linked to the body鈥檚 immune response, ; the data could help in developing a range of more effective treatments, researchers say.
Nicotine pouch usage nearly doubled among U.S. highschoolers between 2023鈥�2024, per , which analyzed surveys of 10,000+ teens; the findings signal a 鈥済rowing public health issue,鈥� per the study鈥檚 lead author. CLIMATE Funding 鈥楳egafarms,鈥� Despite Pollution
The U.K. government has subsidized industrial-scale poultry farms, despite growing alarm over the farms鈥� contribution to 鈥渟piraling鈥� air and water pollution in the regions where they operate.
Background: The 鈥渕egafarms,鈥� which can hold up to a million birds, have proliferated in the region near the Wye and Severn rivers. Already, the farms have .
Outcry over subsidies: At least 拢14m of public funds have been paid out over three years to poultry farm operators鈥攁 move that environmental advocates say undermines other ecological policies.
Truck drivers who travel between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo relied on a network of mobile community health workers to help deliver critical HIV medication while on the road.
That network has broken down following U.S. cuts to foreign aid, leading to closures of clinics and HIV programs鈥攁nd leaving truck drivers without access to their HIV medication.
High risk: Long-haul truck drivers are nearly 6X as likely as the general adult population to be HIV positive, .
Also vulnerable: Sex workers, who rely on the same health networks for HIV medication and PreP.
ALMOST FRIDAY DIVERSION Heavy Caw-petition
If it looks like a gull, sounds like a gull, and dresses like a gull 鈥� it始s probably a contestant in the European Gull Screeching Contest.
This past weekend, 70 participants from 13 countries descended on the Belgian coastal town of De Panne for the squawk-off designed to rehabilitate the reputation of the oft-maligned coastal birds, .
Ironically, a sense of nihilism keeps Brynald motivated: 鈥淚f there isn't any meaning in life, that means I can do literally everything I want. I can make seagull sounds, because I don't care.鈥� QUICK HITS Israeli wildfires could threaten Jerusalem, prime minister says 鈥�

Indonesians are flourishing. People in the UK, Germany, and Spain? Not so much, global survey finds 鈥�

An anthrax outbreak is compounding the worsening security situation in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), driving up humanitarian needs and further limiting access to basic services. The escalating crisis is also widening critical gaps in healthcare and protection, amid a broader surge in infectious diseases.
