  • They help to detecting the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in urban neighbourhoods.
  • Honeybees can carry genetic elements associated with key AMR drivers in their digestive tracts.
  • AMR is the ability of bacteria and other microbes to resist the drugs used to inhibit or kill them.
  • The dangerous rise of AMR could lead to up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050.
