\n \n \n \nA new Oxford University study released during World Antimicrobial Awareness Week has significant findings on how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) arises and persists. The results, published today in Nature Communications, provide the first direct evidence of AMR bacteria migrating from a patient\u2019s gut microbiome to the lungs, increasing the risk of deadly infections.
