Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest public health challenges of our time. Each year in the U.S., at least 2.8 million people get an antibiotic-resistant infection, and more than 35,000 people die. Fighting this threat is a public health priority that requires a collaborative global approach across sectors. Hence,…
Globally one billion people depend on fisheries and aquaculture for the food and livelihood purposes. As per WHO, products from aquaculture have sometimes been associated with certain food safety issues. As per FAO(1994), 60% of the worlds protein supply is from fish and the developing nations are deriving more than…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a developing global public health concern having bio-social aspect in it. Although AMR is a biological phenomenon, the factors that contribute to the emergence and spread of resistance genes are largely social, and include antibiotic prescription and usage behaviour, and waste management. The World Health Organization…
It is a well-known fact that Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a public health problem and is a threat to the global economy. AMR is happening right now in all parts of the world. As we are aware of the challenges posed by AMR, it’s high time we needed to learn…
The incidence of antibiotic resistance is here and is increasing at a higher pace globally. The patients visiting hospital for treatment nowadays end up losing life because of deadly infections caused by drug resistant bacteria, especially Gram-negative bacteria. Further, low financial investment and lack of innovation in the development of…
Antibiotic resistance has evolved to become a global health challenge with increasing ability of the bacterial species to tolerate antibiotics. Despite presence of several barriers to the flow of genes, the bacteria continuously acquire antibiotic resistance factors from other species. The transmission of antibiotic resistance gene are known to occur…
The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has become a crucial health concern and understanding the process of transmission is important for human health. With the help of sequencing techniques, it is now possible to examine the contribution of mobile genetic elements towards the spread of ARGs. The spread of…
Ready to eat food products like burgers, salami, grilled mushroom, falafel, chicken nuggets and Mexican corn are a popular choice of food among the Iranian population. However, the quality of raw materials and hygiene conditions are poor, leading to bacterial contamination. One of the major food borne disease causing bacterium…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been identified as one of the top ten global health threats. AMR is a cause of concern due to the morbidity and mortality associated with the resistant infections. The economic loss spanning the globe adds onto the crisis. If we don’t act now, the future looks…
About 2.4 million neonates die each year worldwide, of which the majority of deaths occur in seven low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Systemic infections or neonatal sepsis accounts for one third of new-born deaths. Neonatal sepsis is declared as a global concern and major challenge by the World Health Organisation…
