The review aims to acquire the attention of policymakers and government agencies towards the contributing factors leading to the evolution and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and their subsequent threat to the public and environment health....
The global public health concern for the antibiotic resistance is not a future issue; it is happening right now in every region of the world and has the potential to affect anyone, of any age, in any part of the world. New WHO reports, with data from 114 countries provides the ...
As long as antibiotics have existed, so too has antibiotic resistance—the inevitable result as infectious bacteria continually evolve to evade the very drugs designed to kill them. Today, antibiotic resistance is considered a major global health threat. In the United States, The Centers for Disease...
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have accelerated microbial threats to human health in the last decade. Many genes can confer resistance, but evaluating the relative health risks of ARGs is complex. Factors such as the abundance, propensity for lateral transmission and ability of ARGs to be expre...

Antibiotic resistance is an urgent threat to global health, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers it one of their top public health concerns.The rates of resistance to antibiotics continue to rise due to overuse of antibiotics, and new antimicrobial agents are ...
1 This public-health threat has been recognized as a priority for intervention by health agencies at national and international level.2,3 In this chapter we will address the definition of resistance, its biochemical mechanisms, genetic basis, prevalence in major human pathogens, epidemiology and ...
Although the use of antibiotics in controlling bacterial infections is still necessary, it is critical to drastically reduce their use in all facets of One-Health by using alternate strategies to limit the spread of drug resistant pathogens. Since antibiotic resistance is mostly brought about by the...
The rise of antibiotic resistance has become a critical global health concern, resulting in numerous fatalities annually. Among resistant pathogens, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a particularly severe and expanding threat. Howe
Public health Emergency Department Introduction Antibiotic resistance This study discusses the impact of antibiotic resistance as a persistent, global health threat and highlights efforts to improve this complex problem [1]. Political agendas, legislation, development of therapies and educational initiatives ...
