Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the prevalent and opportunistic pathogen which causes infections that are difficult to treat. Along with the intrinsic antibiotic resistance property of P. aeruginosa, it is also know to grow and from cell aggregates or biofilm in the extracellular matrix. Biofilm helps the bacteria to survive in harsh…
Antibiotics are the miracle drugs that brought down the mortality and morbidity due to infectious diseases. These miracle potions are used extensively in humans, animals, and agriculture. In agriculture, antibiotics are used to increase the crop productivity, prevent diseases of crops and to treat them. The use of antibiotics in…
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…
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…
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…
