Man vs Microbes – The Race of the Century No Access

Abstract

The complexity of the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis and its global impact on healthcare invokes an urgent need to understand the underlying forces and to conceive and implement innovative solutions. Beyond focusing on a traditional pathogen-centric approach to antibiotic discovery yielding diminishing returns, future therapeutic interventions can expand to focus more comprehensively on host-pathogen interactions. In this manner, increasing the resiliency of our innate immune system or attenuating the virulence mechanisms of the pathogens can be explored to improve therapeutic outcomes. Key pathogen survival strategies such as tolerance, persistence, aggregation, and biofilm formation can be considered and interrupted to sensitize pathogens for more efficient immune clearance. Understanding the evolution and emergence of so-called ‘super clones’ that drive AMR spread with rapid clonotyping assays may guide more precise antibiotic regimens. Innovative alternatives to classical antibiotics such as bacteriophage therapy, novel engineered peptide antibiotics, ionophores, nanomedicines, and repurposing drugs from other domains of medicine to boost innate immunity are beginning to be successfully implemented to combat AMR. Policy changes supporting shorter durations of antibiotic treatment, greater antibiotic stewardship, and increased surveillance measures can enhance patient safety and enable implementation of the next generation of targeted prevention and control programmes at a global level.
