Title A new weapon in the battle against antibiotic resistance: Temperature Media name/outlet Swift Telecast Date 15/06/2024 Description Scientists from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands), together with colleagues from the University of Montpellier (France) and the University of Oldenburg (Germany), have tested how a fever could affect the development of antimicrobial resistance. In laboratory experiments, they found that a small increase in temperature from 37 to 40 degrees Celsius drastically changed the mutation frequency in E. coli bacteria, which facilitates the development of resistance. If these results can be replicated in human patients, fever control could be a new way to mitigate the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The results were published in the journal JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance.

If these results can be replicated in human patients, fever control could be a new way to mitigate the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
