Global Burden of Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance in 2019: A Systematic Analysis

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health issue. The irrational use of antibiotics in human, animal and environment sectors give rise to AMR. Apprehensions are rife that AMR may follow similar patterns as seen in case of epidemic outbreaks developing into pandemics. In this situation, it becomes imperative to understand…

Antibiotic Resistance in Wild Birds

Wild birds have been identified as sentinels, reservoirs, and potential antibiotic resistance spreaders. A variety of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been discovered from wild bird species. Several investigations have found that resistant bacteria are transmitted to wild birds by human rest products. There is evidence that wild birds can spread resistant…

A Hot Topic at the Environment–Health Nexus: Investigating the Impact of Climate Change on Infectious Diseases

The climate change affects the social, economic and environmental determinants of health. It is the ultimate challenge of our times. Climate change is projected to impact both endemicity and prevalence of infectious diseases. Pathogen distribution, particularly the geographic and temporal distribution of vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria, is expected…

Synthetic Antibacterial Minerals: Harnessing a Natural Geochemical Reaction to Combat Antibiotic Resistance

The misuse and overuse of antibiotics in livestock and clinical settings is increasing the natural selection of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The resultant is antibiotic resistance bacteria along with the rise in mortality and financial burden on livestock and the healthcare industry. Hence, there is a need for novel strategies to deal…

Off-Label Use of Antibacterials in a Context of Antimicrobial Resistance Threat

One of the global challenges in the area of  health  is  antimicrobial  resistance,  and  it  is  urgent  to  rethink  the  use  of  antimicrobial  drugs. The use of clinical and epidemiological methods to analyze the potential benefits and risks of drug therapy  has now become  a  requirement  for  the  rational use…
