Drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae  is a cause of concern in hospitals, due to a range of acute infections caused by the organism. Some risk factors associated with K. pneumoniae infections are gender, age, hospitalization status, source of domestic water (river, rain, well, bottled, piped, boiled), companion animals (cats, dogs,…

The impact of increasing antibiotic resistance seems devastating. With passing time, the profile of resistant strains is increasing and seems never ending. The situation becomes worse when these resistant bacteria act as secondary infection to hospitalized patients, immunocompromised patients and so on. Thus a need for a better treatment option…

The global threat of antimicrobial resistance can be contained only through the ‘One Health’ approach. This approach basically states that the human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected and the efforts to tackle ABR should be taken at all three levels. Hence, an in-depth understanding of the several routes of…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)  has been recognized as an emerging and growing problem worldwide. The concept of “One health” clearly highlights the ubiquitous distribution of these resistant organisms in humans, soil, water and environment.  Though the knowledge about these organisms in humans is well versed but literature pertaining to other zones…

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major pathogen that causes severe multidrug-resistant infections in animals and humans. The S. aureus infection can be minor skin infections to life-threatening conditions like bacteremia, endocarditis, meningitis, toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia, and osteomyelitis. Although the MRSA was found in humans and other animals in…
