Antimicrobial Resistance in the Globalized Food Chain: A One Health Perspective Applied to the Poultry Industry

The food animal industry will face escalating challenges to increase productivity while minimizing AMR, since the global demand for animal protein has been continuously increasing and food animals play a key role in the global food supply, particularly broiler chickens. As chicken products are sources of low-cost, high-quality protein, poultry…

Understanding Antimicrobial Use in Subsistence Farmers in Chikwawa District Malawi, Implications for Public Awareness Campaigns

Countries around the world have reported an increase in drug-resistant diseases over the past 20 years. This ramification is hampering human development and food security. The concept of climate change and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is called "wicked policy challenges" by academics and policy actors because they arise from complex social…

Antimicrobial Strategy for Targeted Elimination of Different Microbes, Including Bacterial, Fungal, and Viral Pathogens

The ongoing emergence of microbial pathogens for which no effective antimicrobials exist endangers global health, necessitating novel antimicrobial approaches. The bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus (SA), particularly methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA), is a well-known multidrug-resistant pathogen. According to recent research, the photo-activated probe caused a structural change in the probe and conjugate…

Antibiotic Residues in Milk: Control Strategies in Dairy Animals

The antibiotic resistance (AR) leads to the development of new resistant bacteria or superbugs, resulting in failure of antibiotic therapy under clinical situations in both humans and animals. AR development particularly in the pathogens has become the greatest threat to antibiotic therapy. Awareness and upgradation of knowledge regarding AR among…

Antimicrobial Resistance and One Health in the Post COVID-19 Era: What Should Health Students Learn?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical worldwide health issue that jeopardizes our ability to fight illnesses. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has put the world in a shocking state. The pandemic exacerbated the problem of antimicrobial resistance, which was largely caused by irrational off-label use of antivirals, anthelmintics, antimalarials,…

Antimicrobial Resistance in Antarctica: Is It Still A Pristine Environment?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat. Surveillance is one of the critical interventions to tackle the emergence and spared of AMR. Antarctica is one such place where the human settlements are relatively less and acts as a simpler model to study the factors that increases AMR. There…

Antibiotics in the Pipeline: A Literature Review (2017-2020)

Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is causing increased mortality and morbidity and is straining the healthcare system. The rising problem of ABR can be controlled through effective antibiotic stewardship system and by facilitating new drug developments. Several new antibiotics are in the pipeline to fight the ABR pandemic. Most of these antibiotics…

Impact of Antibiotics on Off-Target Infant Gut Microbiota and Resistance Genes in Cohort Studies

nfants and young children are exposed to the most antibiotics of any age group, with an estimated 30–40% of children receiving at least one course of antibiotics during their first year of life. Although the majority of these antibiotics are used to treat acute respiratory tract infections, an unintended consequence…

Residual Antimicrobial Agents in Food Originating from Animals

The use of antimicrobials, specifically antibiotics, is not limited to humans, but also common in animals and plants. However, the overuse of these antimicrobial agents has made the situation more worrisome. This means that misuse has led to mutations, gene transfers in microbes making them stronger to survive in the…
