Treatment with a mixture of antimicrobial peptides found to impede antibiotic resistanceA common infection-causing bacteria was much less likely to evolve antibiotic resistance when treated with a mixture of antimicrobial peptides rather than a single peptide, making these mixtures a viable strategy for developing new antibiotic treatments.

Global South health care practices contribute to spread of antimicrobial resistance across the world, study suggestsMany bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics originate in Pakistan and other parts of the Indian subcontinent. Infections caused by these bacteria are challenging to treat; longer treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics is required and despite this, mortality is increased in those infected with multiresistant bacteria.
