Antibiotic Resistance in Humans and the Natural and Built EnvironmentsHartmann, EricaHartmann, Erica
For the first time, the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) report provides analyses of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates in national testing coverage, AMR trends since 2017, and data on antimicrobial consumption in humans in 27 countries. The report shows over 50 ...
several hundred thousand deaths yearly can be attributed to infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The major driver for the development ofantibioticresistance is considered to be the use, misuse and overuse of antibiotics in humans and animals. Nonantibiotic compounds...
This is believed to have contributed to a situation where "some types of bacteria that cause serious infections in humans have already developed resistance to most or all of the available treatments and there are very few promising options in the research pipeline," WHO said. The UN health agen...
The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses a substantial threat to human health. Phage-mediated transduction could exacerbate ARG transmission. While several case studies exist, it is yet unclear to what extent phages encode and mobilize ARGs
Our objectives were: (1) to investigate how adding an environmental compartment affects the long-term dynamics of resistance in humans, as well as the sensitivity of the model to its parameters; and (2) to investigate the impact of interventions to curtail antibiotic usage in animals or the ...
In such cases, resistance prevalence in humans would not respond to the curtailing of AMU in food-producing animals. Using a system of differential equations to model the One Health system, Smith et al. [26]. find that the effect of reducing animal AMU is likely to be much lower when ...
What can be done to help slow the antibiotic resistance crisis? Use antibiotics more carefully in humans and animals to end the rise in antibiotic-resistant infections. Prevent infections, thus eliminating the need to treat them. Development of new antibiotics. ...
See how the use of existing rapid diagnostics and the development of new rapid diagnostics are critical components of the global strategy to combat antibiotic resistance.
Evidence showed that bits of DNA containing genes that encode drug resistance crossed from animals to humans. The report's authors urged that precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of such transfers especially in farm workers.关键词: Antibiotics 抗生素类 ...
