The Incidence of Antibiotic Resistance Within and Beyond The Agricultural Ecosystem: A Concern for Public Health

The agricultural ecosystem creates a platform for the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, which is promoted by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the veterinary, agricultural, and medical sectors. This has resulted in the antimicrobial resistance within the aquaculture‐animal‐manure‐soil‐water‐plant nexus. The possible transmission routes between the various niches of…

Environmental Antimicrobial Resistance and Its Drivers: A Potential Threat to Public Health

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global crisis affecting humans, animals and the environment. The misuse or abuse of antimicrobials in the human, veterinary and agriculture sectors is the driving cause for worldwide AMR development. However, inadequate local sanitation, pollution, inappropriate industrial and municipal waste management, sewage sludge, spreading of animal…

Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater Treatment Plants and Transmission Risks for Employees and Residents: The Concept of the AWARE Study

The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) is one of the greatest public health threats as mentioned by the World Health Organization. The non-prudent use of antibiotics is one of the key contributing factors that is leading to the spread of ARB and antibiotic resistant genes in the…

Combining Stool and Stories: Exploring Antimicrobial Resistance Among a Longitudinal Cohort of International Health Students

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…

An Update on Eight “New” Antibiotics against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria

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…
