Genetic Mutation Allowed Black Death to Persist for Centuries
A new study published in Science reveals that the deletion of the pla gene in Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for the plague, reduced its virulence, allowing it to persist for centuries after the initial Black Death outbreak by modifying transmission dynamics within a decimated rodent pop...

Antibiotics Could Save Thousands of Comatose Children in Africa
New research shows that administering antibiotics immediately to comatose children in sub-Saharan Africa could save over 20,000 lives annually, as many suffer from undetected bacterial infections alongside cerebral malaria; delayed care due to transport and access issues worsens outcomes.

EU Critical Medicines Act Seeks to Address Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
The EU's Critical Medicines Act, to be released this week, aims to address Europe's vulnerability in pharmaceutical supply chains by mapping them, supporting domestic production, and diversifying sources, driven by the fact that 80–90% of the world's antibiotics are manufactured in Asia.
