Review on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

Wellcome Trust & UK Department of Health

The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), was commissioned in July 2014 by the UK Prime Minister, who asked economist Jim O’Neill to analyse the global problem of rising drug resistance and propose concrete actions to tackle it internationally. The Review on AMR was jointly supported by the UK Government and Wellcome Trust, although operated with full independence from both. Established as a two-year, time-limited process, the Review engaged widely with international stakeholders to understand and propose solutions to the problem of drug-resistant infections from an economic and social perspective, and produced its final report and recommendations in the summer of 2016.

Lord Jim O’Neill, chairman of the independent Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, which has assisted in the development of the Declaration, said: “This Declaration from industry is a major step forward in establishing a properly global response to the challenges of drug resistance. I am really impressed that such a wide range of companies have been able to agree on a common set of principles and commitments across these important issues: this is a level of consensus that we have not previously seen from the industry on this topic.”
AMR is one of the most serious public health threats globally with infections cause by multidrug-resistant bacteria currently estimated to kill 25,000 people every year in Europe alone.

The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance has now completed its work. The content of this website is frozen as an archive of the Review’s work, and will not be updated further. The legacy of the Review will be maintained by its sponsor organisations, the Wellcome Trust and the UK Department of Health.

Natureza Patents New Antibiotic Agents

Natureza Patents New Antibiotic Agents

  • Chitosan-coated carboxylic acids show antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative and positive pathogens.
  • Our novel antibiotic agents show activity against some of the deadliest multi-drug resistant pathogens and there’s NO RESISTANCE.
Natureza Develops a Transformative New Class of Antibiotics that Overcomes Bacterial Resistance

Natureza’s patented formulations introduce a transformative new class of antibiotic agents that overcome bacterial resistance and removes the time barrier of investment return.

Natureza’s research offers a true paradigm shift, one that would remove the imbalance in development cost by eliminating the ability of bacteria to become resistant. With the promise of new drugs being able to be marketed for years providing not only the time to recover investment, but a profit as well, a new investment environment would emerge that would encourage the development of new, much needed antibiotics.

This work is protected by several US and foreign patents and patent applications.

Lack of New Antibiotics Threatens Global Efforts to Contain Drug-Resistant Fnfections - WHO 2020

Lack of New Antibiotics Threatens Global Efforts to Contain Drug-Resistant Infections

“Never has the threat of antimicrobial resistance been more immediate and the need for solutions more urgent,” says Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO.
