为了协调和加强对抗生素耐药性威胁的公共卫生应对,2020年10月,美国政府发布了《2020-2025年全国抗击抗生素耐药细菌行动计划》(National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (CARB), 2020-2025)。该计划在2015年计划的基础上进行了扩展,扩大了已经证明能够降低抗生素耐药性的基于证据的活动,例如在人类...
AMR, or Antimicrobial resistance, occurs when a microbe, including bacteria, viruses, and some parasites, has adapted or evolved to the point when the effe
World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2024, observed from November 18 to 24, 2024, centers on thetheme“Educate. Advocate. Act now.” This theme addresses antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a critical issue where bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites develop resistance to treatments, making inf...
The rise and prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria can exacerbate public health challenges, particularly in underprivileged areas of the Global South, where additional factors such as industrial pollution and limited access to clean water and sanitary facilities come into play [48]. Antibiotic resid...
The Antimicrobial Resistance Australia Mission An Unfinished Life: The True Impact of Antibiotic Resistance When bacteria (and other bugs) no longer respond to the medicine that once treated them – it’s called antimicrobial resistance (or AMR, for short). And it’s killing nearly 1.3 million ...
Marc Van Ranst, PhD, virologist at Rega Institute KU Leuven in Leuven, Belgium, echoed Marchant’s concerns. He noted that "an increasing number of bacteria are becoming resistant to more antibiotics." "While antibiotics were once miracle drugs, they have now stopped — or almost stopped — ...
showed that many isolates recovered from houseflies were multi-drug resistant.Genotypic analysis identified carbapenemase genes present on mobilisible plasmids in bacteria isolated from flies.Further mechanistic studies are required to understand the burden of AMR attributable to insect pests on hospital ...
Antibiotic, or antimicrobial, resistance is when drugs designed to kill infectious bacteria and fungi are rendered ineffective because the bugs have evolved and developed an ability to defeat these drugs.

Research shows that bacteria from animals that become resistant to antibiotics can be transmitted to humans during slaughter or during meat processing. To combat this, the Agricultural Research Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in partnership with other federal agencies, have ...
Once the medication is administered, sensitive bacteria die off, leaving behind resistant ones that multiply and take over the GI tract. This disrupts the balance of bacteria in the gut leading to the development of bacteria such as C. difficile, which normally resides in the GI tract without ...
