Some bacteria have already become resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam – one of the new antibiotics introduced to the NHS in 2017. A new study published by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) highlights the risk, and although the levels of resistance are currently low, it provides a stark reminder that appropriate antibiotic use is essential to slowing the development of resistance.

People from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to experience prolonged Covid-19 symptoms, a new study has found. Researchers at King’s College London (KCL) found that pre-existing social inequalities affect recovery from Covid-19. Specifically, social factors such as education level, financial stability, and the areas where people live significantly influenced whether individuals reported recovery from the virus more than a year after infection.

A study found that smoking rates in the North of England have declined faster than in other regions, narrowing the gap in smoking prevalence across the country. Researchers at University College London (UCL) say that smoking rates in the North are now as low as in the South. They found that regions such as the North East, which had ‘sustained tobacco control activity’ programmes encouraging people to quit, saw the greatest reductions in smoking. The findings are published in Addiction.

Women aged 50 or older, who are three years post-breast cancer diagnosis and cancer-free, show non-inferior results when given less than annual mammography compared to annual screening, a new study has revealed. Less frequent breast cancer screenings were found to be equally effective in terms of breast cancer-specific survival, recurrence-free interval and overall survival. These findings suggest that leaving more time between mammograms could be a suitable option for this group of women.

A new study proposes that intensive care unit (ICU)-led antibiotic allergy assessment and testing programmes are feasible, effective and safe, even without specialised immunology and allergy services. The findings support expanding ICU-led antibiotic allergy assessment and testing, which could reduce the unnecessary use of alternative antibiotics and improve patient outcomes.
