Drug Resistance Threat Deepens, AMR NEXT 2025 at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad Witness National and Global Expertise

The two-day conclave gathers together global health leaders, policy makers, scientists, and innovators to strengthen India’s response to Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). As antimicrobial resistance accelerates at an unprecedented pace, threatening to undo decades of medical advancement, the two-day national conclave, AMR NEXT 2025, on the theme “Transformative Strategies to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance: For a Safer Tomorrow”, got underway at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad. The conference, held from November 29-30, saw several top leaders from government, public health, academia, biotechnology, and international institutions come together to drive solutions within the rapidly evolving AMR landscape of India. India continues to bear some of the world’s highest burdens of bacterial infections. Recent findings from national surveillance have revealed continuing resistance in E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Although ICMR’s latest data indicate a modest improvement in E. coli susceptibility to ceftazidime-from 19.2% in 2023 to 27.5% in 2024-experts caution that rising resistance to critical drugs such as carbapenems and colistin remains deeply concerning-a signal that frontline treatment options are rapidly narrowing. Experts attribute this rising antimicrobial resistance to a variety of factors interlinked with each other: the high infectious disease burden of India, irrational and excessive use of antibiotics in human…

Amrita Wireless Sensor Network for Landslide Detection System for Himalayas

This project is to study the feasibility for deploying an integrated real-time landslide monitoring and detection system using emerging wireless sensor network technology. The landslide monitoring and detection system will be used for the detection and early warning of rainfall-induced landslides, in three landslide prone areas in the Himalayas, India.  The Wireless Sensor Network for real-time landslide monitoring & detection, which has been functioning in Munnar since 2008, proved its capability when it issued a real-time landslide warning in July 2009. The Government of India have expressed interest in deploying it in other landslide-prone areas, including the rest of Kerala, Himalayan region and Maharashtra. In fact, R Chidambaram, principal scientific advisor to Government of India, visited the deployment site at Munnar with the intention of replicating the system in Northern parts of India.

Regulation of Inflammation by Natural Product extracts: Role in osteoclastogenesis

Regulation of Inflammation by Natural Product extracts: Role in osteoclastogenesis

Inflammation is the body’s endeavor at self-defense, the intent being to eradicate harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens and begin the healing process.  It is one of the major steps in normal wound healing process with overlapping events such as formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases. Thus the inflammatory response plays a key role in both health protection and disease generation. Osteoclasts are the multinuclear cells specialized for bone resorption, playing a crucial role in bone remodeling. Osteoclasts have been known to differentiate from hematopoietic precursors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in the presence of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1) and receptor activator of ΝF-κΒ ligand (RANKL). Inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) have been reported to induce osteoclast formation indirectly by stimulating osteoblasts. Chronic inflammation can lead to an abnormal increase in osteoclastic bone resorption and excessive bone destruction as observed in osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal disease (PD) etc. The use of herbal or natural medicines for the management of diverse disorders has an extensive and widespread history. The present study is…
Development of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for detection of Glucose, Cholesterol and Kidney Function

Development of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for detection of Glucose, Cholesterol and Kidney Function

The proposed work envisages the fabrication of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip (LOC) module for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose, cholesterol and creatinine using a single device. This consists of a disposable LOC and a non-disposable electronics module. The use of non-enzymatic sensing module helps to achieve longer shelf life, eliminating the need for stringent storage conditions. This reduces the cost and time of analysis considerably. The point of care diagnostic device provides an effective alternative for the existing expensive and time consuming clinical analysis performed by a trained clinical lab technician. This would thereby enable access to low-cost medical diagnostics even to underprivileged sections of the society.

Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Microbial Pathogenesis

When encountering a new host, every potential microbial pathogen can stay, acquire nutrients, colonize and then seek another host.  Alternatively the pathogen could express its full battery of virulence factors, and invade the host. The successful attack of a host is now understood to be a communal process called Quorum Sensing (QS). Utilizing QS, pathogens employ a series of chemical signals and sensing systems that jointly engage bacteria to switch from acting as individual cells to operating in a concerted multicellular fashion. QS is the capacity to detect extracellular, small-molecule signals and to subsequently alter gene expression in response to bacterial population densities. The QS systems of bacteria are now known to serve a wide variety of functions beyond a simple estimate of cell density. Some of the processes controlled by QS include bioluminescence and expression of virulence factor(s). Furthermore, QS also plays a pivotal role in the production of healthy and fully developed biofilms which are complex and stable multi-layered structures with defined architecture, in which bacterial communities exist in a sessile form.Many gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria uses QS to control virulence and biofilm formation. A major challenge presented by biofilms is that bacteria living within them enjoy…

Life and living are not the same. For living, we may need a job, money, a home, a car and other creature comforts. However, these alone fail to make life complete. For that, we need love, compassion, tenderness — a heart that knows and responds to the pain of others. We need broadmindedness and maturity in thought and action.
