A recent study by the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) has provided critical insights into the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in India’s urban environments. By analysing 447 wastewater samples collected between 2022 and 2024 from major metropolitan cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai, researchers have created India’s first large-scale map of AMR patterns in sewage systems. The findings, published in Nature Communications, reveal that although bacterial populations vary across cities, they exhibit remarkably similar evolutionary strategies to resist antibiotics.
