Misuse of antibiotics in humans, animals and plants lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. This phenomenon is not confined to humans or animals alone. Antibiotic resistance gets transferred between humans, animals, and the environment through antibiotic resistance genes. The soil and water contain diverse microbial communities. Antibiotic misuse coupled…
The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and development of resistant microbes is a critical challenge to control AMR. Different approaches, like antimicrobial stewardship programmes, Global and National action plan, and enhanced surveillance, have been formulated to restrict the spread of AMR. But the threat of AMR and knowledge on ongoing…
The discovered antibiotics have started failing. The infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria are one of the world’s most urgent public health issue. The adverse impact of resistance seen in gram-negative bacteria (GNB) is no different. The bacteria are increasingly resistant to most available antibiotics, one such broad-spectrum group of antibiotics…
The Global Action Plan is one of the key initiatives by the World Health Organization (WHO) to combat the increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In this direction, WHO has articulated a list of pathogens under the umbrella of ‘priority pathogens’ to provide strategic direction to research and develop new…
Antibiotics are the entities that help us to fight against the bacterial infections. These antibiotics are being used as therapeutic agents in humans while as therapeutic, prophylactic as well as growth promoters in case of animals. The release of antibiotics in human and animal waste results in the entry of…
Looking at the growing antibiotic resistance (ABR) trend it has been estimated that the infections from resistant bacteria will be the leading cause of death by 2050, and may cost the global economy USD100 trillion. The ABR burden in low and medium-income countries (LMICs) is found to be three times…
