The most biodiverse habitat on earth is the soil. It contains billions of bacterial cells, bioactive compounds including antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG). These ARGs are transferred from soil to human through direct contact, food chain and as a transfer stop to water/air environment. In addition to this intrinsic…
The global problem of anti microbial resistance (AMR) is seen across human and animal population. One of the major driving factor for the AMR is the increased antibiotic consumption for treatment of diseases as well as for growth promotion. The key action to address this issue is to raise the…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rising day-by-day and imposing significant threat to global health. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) experience highest mortality and morbidity due to AMR. Though, vaccines are more likely to drop the AMR burden by reducing the use of antibiotics to cure infections, there are not many evidences…
Injudicious use of antibiotics has led to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistant infections across the globe. Bacteria have evolved three mechanisms to survive and grow in the presence of antibiotics. Those mechanisms are tolerance, persistence and resistance. These mechanisms are modulated by environmental factors like temperature, pH and nutrient…
Clostridium difficile infections are one of the major public health problems that is persistent and growing globally. The present treatment of these infections is restricted to vancomycin, metronidazole and fidaxomicin. There is an urgent need for new anti-clostridial drugs because the antibiotic choices have become limited due to increasing resistance. …
