More than 1.2 million people died globally in 2019 from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to the largest study to date on the issue, quoted by the BBC.

The number is higher than the annual mortality from malaria or AIDS.

In viral diseases, antibacterial therapy has absolutely no benefit. When something doesn't work, only the risks come from it. This was said in an interview with BNR before a conference on the topic of antibiotic resistance by pulmonologist Dr. Alexander Simidchiev, a member of Democratic Bulgaria.

Bulgaria ranks first in the inadequate use of antibiotics. From November 18 to 24, we are organizing a week dedicated to antimicrobial resistance (AR) and COVID-19. This was stated by Elena Tsoneva-Papudjieva from the WHO in Bulgaria at a press conference dedicated to the awareness of antimicrobial resistance and COVID-19, a BGNES reporter reported.

Experts and the government are increasingly concerned about the spread of the "Delta" mutation of the coronavirus, with Crete in the spotlight.

Speaking on the show "MEGA Hour Society", Nikos Tzanakis, professor of pulmonology, noted that although the island has several cases of the mutated strain, it remains in good epidemiological condition.

“By the end of August the Delta type mutation will have prevailed in our country”

Ten hospitals in different parts of the country are set to get the green light to kick off what aspires to become a nationwide program for combating hospital-acquired infections (HAI).

They said they were very concerned and that their study was the first in the world to confirm co-infection with two strains of coronavirus.
The discovery was published on the medical site "medRxiv.org", and the study has yet to go through the review process and be published in a scientific journal, Reuters reports.

Ljubljana – An international team of researchers headed by Marko Anderluh of the Ljubljana Faculty of Pharmacy and Nikola Minovski of the Chemistry Institute has synthesized molecules that could result in new treatments for super resistant bacteria.

The expert group demonstrated the mechanism of action of these new molecules for the first time, the Faculty of Pharmacy said.

He also said that Serbia's decision to cut off air traffic with London would be good, from the point of view of protecting the population from the new strain of the coronavirus.

They have found an interesting niche…
