Shigellosis is an enteric infection that transmits through the faecal-oral route, which can occur during sex between men who have sex with men (MSM). Between 2009 and 2014, an epidemic of sexually transmissible Shigella flexneri 3a occurred in England that subsequently declined. However, from 2019 to 2021, despite SARS-CoV-2 restrictions, S. flexne...
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a major global public health issue designated for urgent action by international institutions, especially regarding the emergence and the global dissemination of multidrug resistant bacteria (MDRB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) carried by mobile genetic elements. They are widely transmitted between humans, an...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a significant burden for animal health. So far, routine surveillance of AMR in bacterial pathogens of animals has primarily relied on phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing.WGS surveillance of AMR is still in its infancy and not harmonized in Europe.Tasks 2.1 and 2.2 of SOA8 aim to pave the way tow...
Objectives: Bacteriophage (phage) therapy is a promising anti-infective option to combat antimicrobial resistance. However, the clinical utilization of phage therapy has been severely compromised by the potential emergence of phage resistance. Although certain phage resistance mechanisms can restore bacterial susceptibility to certain antibiotics, ...
