Article on Search for novel antimicrobials (SVK)

20/05/2023

I was happy to give an interview for tvnoviny.sk on what antimicrobial crisis actually means, how do we get there and how do we move further from current status. We also talked about Antarctica and biomining of Antarctic microorganisms that could produce novel antibiotics. 

And a bit unsually as I don't often have the opportunity to discuss it, but I believe it is exceptionally crucial, given the rapidly growing number of cases in Europe - Lyme borreliosis. We still face challenges in comprehending, preventing, diagnosing in a timely manner, and providing rehabilitation for patients suffering from this bacterial disease. I am thankful I could address some aspects of this infection and detection of early stages which I think should be communicated more often to broader audience.
