• ITMO Fellow Tamer Abdelrazik on Novel Antimicrobial Polymers

  In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) described antimicrobial resistance as one of the top ten global health threats currently faced by humanity. Some bacteria, Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus, can spread a variety of infections, which are typically treated with antibiotics, yet over time they can develop resistance to the drugs, thus complicating the treatment and increasing the risk of further spreading. This problem is being addressed by Tamer Abdelrazik, a scientist from the City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications (SRTA-City) who worked at ITMO as part of the ITMO Fellowship program.
