However, non-prescribed and informal sources are implicated as the most common causes of inappropriate antibiotic access practices, resulting in untargeted therapy, which leads to antibiotic resistance. Hence, knowing antibiotic access practices at the community level is essential to target misuse sources...
Antibiotic resistance is a major health problem and will be probably one of the leading causes of deaths in the coming years. One of the most effective ways to fight against resistance is to decrease antibiotic consumption. Intensive care units (ICUs) are places where antibiotics are widely pres...

The answer is a phenomenon known as bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Bacteria Antibiotic resistance is a widespread problem, and one that in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls "one of the world's most pressing public health problems. In a study published in The Lance...

Discovery and study of different bacterial resistance strategies as well as the development of new antimicrobial compounds, which are also able to overcome the protecting outer-membrane barrier of Gram-negative bacteria, are of great urgency1. Albicidin is a phytotoxic small molecule synthesized by ...
The overall goal of this study (Telemedical Competence Network “Antibiotic Stewardship in Pediatrics”—TeleKasper) is to counteract the increasing development of antibiotic resistance and to reduce the risk of possible long-term health consequences of uncritical antibiotic use. This is to be achieved...
Limitations Our study has limitations worth discussing. First, we applied the resistance patterns of the population of urinary pathogens summarized in the antibiograms for determination of active and optimal empirical antibiotic therapy. We opted for this approach because our goal was to assess...
[22,23]. Two studies have evaluated the mechanisms of resistance in QAC-resistant strains recovered from contaminated QAC disinfectants or antiseptics [24,25]. A much more common method is to study the adaptive changes that occur when bacteria are exposed in vitro to increasing, sublethal ...
models are trained using algorithms that can range from traditional decision trees to novel neural networks. Finally, trained models can be used to predict diverse qualities, e.g., the effectiveness of an antibiotic, potential for toxic activity, development of resistance, or the structure of novel...
