The current Covid19 pandemic has exaggerated the problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The bacterial coinfections in Covid19 cases led to irrational use of antibiotics in the population. Whether the use of antibiotics was beneficial to the patients is still unclear. The use of antibiotics in large amounts has led to…

Thus, food safety seems to be the major point of concern and the reason behind foodborne diseases must be looked at carefully. The more concerning issue is the development of non-responsiveness of these disease-causing…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging public health problem worldwide and a significant threat to mankind. Along with different initiatives to combat AMR, antimicrobial stewardship programmes (AMSP) are being implemented globally, especially in hospital settings. Various study reveals that the AMSP in primary health care (PHC) is not well implemented…
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections occurring in the community and hospitals. The treatment is usually empirical antibiotics like co-trimoxazole, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and nitrofurantoin. Nitrofurantoin and Fosfomycin are preferred oral antibiotics in many guidelines. Provisional antibiotic usage drives antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The Asia Pacific region (Southeast Asian countries and…
