Assessment of knowledge, attitude and practices on antibiotic resistance among undergraduate medical students in the school of medicine at the University of Zambia

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…

Anti-biofilm efficacy of a medieval treatment for bacterial infection requires the combination of multiple ingredients

It is well known that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to problematic infections, threatens the success of routine surgery and cancer treatments. As per WHO, AMR is estimated to kill 10 million people per year by 2050. In this regard, one of the troublesome areas is the incidence of biofilm-associated resistant…

Interplay of antibiotic resistance and food-associated stress tolerance in foodborne pathogens

The food chain has been considered a major vehicle for the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It has been shown that antibiotic-resistant genes can be transferred in the human gastrointestinal tract, consuming food containing antibiotic-resistant bacteria may promote the transfer of resistant genes to human pathogens in the gut. Therefore, antibiotic-resistant…

Co‐occurrence of antibiotic, biocide, and heavy metal resistance genes in bacteria from metal and radionuclide contaminated soils at the Savannah River Site

In order to regulate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, a better understanding of factors that trigger the emergence of antibiotic resistance is crucial. The presence of antibiotics in the environment exhibit selection pressure on the microorganisms and accelerates their ability to resist several classes of antibiotics. However, antibiotics are not…
