It is a known fact that antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a multisectoral problem and to tackle it the approach also should be in multi directions which can be called a ‘one health’ approach. A systematic analysis has estimated that in 2019 globally around 4.95 million people lost their lives because…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recently acknowledged as one of the most pressing issues affecting human health and the role of mankind in exacerbating this problem with the overuse of antimicrobials is widely discussed. While causes of AMR has largely anthropogenic contributions, the fact that resistance against antimicrobials occurs naturally…
The role of women self-help groups (SHGs) in the society is well known. These are informal associations of people who come together to find ways to improve their living conditions. Especially in country like India, it is very important to have such groups that can help others and reach out…
The spread of antibiotic resistance has increased interest in combination-based treatments. Despite extensive research into the effects of drug combinations on bacterial growth, Much less is known about their effects on bacterial long-term clearance, particularly at cidal, clinically relevant concentrations. The authors systematically quantify Staphylococcus aureus survival during prolonged exposure…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a One Health problem underpinned by complex drivers and behaviours. This is particularly so in low – and middle-income countries (LMICs), where social and systemic factors fuel (mis)use and drive AMR. Behavioural change around antimicrobial use could safeguard both existing and future treatments. However, changing behaviour…
