Why do people purchase antibiotics over-the-counter? A qualitative study with patients, clinicians, and dispensers in central, eastern, and western Nepal

Antibiotic resistance is a global health priority. Many studies have pinpointed the causes and risk factors of the rising antibiotic resistance. Among the many causes identified, over-the-counter (OTC) use of antibiotics is one of the major causes, especially in low and middle-income countries like India, Nepal, Kenya, etc. Hence, it…

The Application of Nanomaterials for the Electrochemical Detection of Antibiotics: A Review

Antibiotics are the entities that help us to fight against the bacterial infections. These antibiotics are being used as therapeutic agents in humans while as therapeutic, prophylactic as well as growth promoters in case of animals. The release of antibiotics in human and animal waste results in the entry of…

Deciphering potential roles of earthworms in mitigation of antibiotic resistance in the soils from diverse ecosystems

Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is ‘one health’ challenge and it needs to be tackled with the one health approach. The injudicious use of antibiotics in human, animal and plant health has increased the abundance of antibiotic, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in the environment. It has been found that…

Exploring the Antibiotic Resistance Burden in Livestock, Livestock Handlers and Their Non-Livestock Handling Contacts: A One Health Perspective

While the current World is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, another global health threat called “Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)” can’t be ignored. AMR is also an important zoonotic concern which has been enhances by the irrational use of antibiotic drugs in humans and domestic animals. Generally, antimicrobials are used in livestock…

Antimicrobial resistance research in a post-pandemic world: Insights on antimicrobial resistance research in the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic is expected to impact bacterial infection transmission and the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The confirmed overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics to treat individuals infected with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) had impacted positively to cause AMR. In this regard, the…
