Botulinum toxin A1, better known under the brand name #Botox, is not only a popular cosmetic agent, but also a highly effective #bacterial #neurotoxin that – when carefully dosed – can be used as a drug. It blocks the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles

Water Quality and AMR 💧🦠

The effects of climate change on water systems are multifaceted:

• Increased #runoff and #flooding contribute to the dissemination of #contaminants.

• Alterations in #aquatic #ecosystems may favour the proliferation of specific #bacterial populations.

#Wastewater treatment facilities encounter significant challenges.

#Microplastics may function as #vectors for the transmission of #AMR #genes.

#Global #burden of #bacterial #antimicrobial #resistance 1990–2021: a systematic analysis with #forecasts to 2050, Lancet: sciencedirect.com/science/arti

Our forecasts show that an estimated 1·91 million (1·56–2·26) deaths attributable to AMR and 8·22 million (6·85–9·65) deaths associated with AMR could occur globally in 2050. Super-regions with the highest all-age AMR mortality rate in 2050 are forecasted to be south Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean.
