The incidences of antibiotic resistance (ABR) are continuously increasing and imposing a burden on the global healthcare system. In order to minimize the rate of ABR, it is important to understand major factors contributing to its emergence and spread. An article published by Dr. Michael Bank (Institute of Marine Research,…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recommended as one of the biggest threats worldwide. Multiple reasons are responsible for this rapid increase in AMR cases. It includes self-medication, absence of diagnostic tools, dispensing of antibiotics without prescriptions, inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials by doctors. Not only this, but the doctors’ decision is…

The rapid increase in Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global concern. In such a scenario, ABR incidences can be effectively regulated by limiting its spread through the implementation of good practices in all the sectors including plant farming. The livestock waste is generally considered as excellent manure for overall plant…

The increasing level of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant trend seen throughout the globe, and this phenomenon may affect the health of the general public. Studies reveal that there is an evident relationship between the number of antibiotics utilized and the prevalence of bacterial resistance. The practice of antibiotic…

It is well known that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to problematic infections, threatens the success of routine surgery and cancer treatments.
