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 ...
Antibiotic Resistance in Humans and the Natural and Built EnvironmentsHartmann, EricaHartmann, Erica
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...
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
A world without functioning antibiotics would be like "going back to the dark ages," warned Marc Sprenger, who heads WHO's Antimicrobial Resistance Secretariat. "People will just die because of (regular) infections," he told reporters in a phone conference, warning that common procedures like hi...
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.
Livestock in the U.S. may be building resistance to deadly bacterial infections, and those superbugs may be easily transferrable to humans, according to a new study published in the journal, mBio.
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 ...
The ARGs were related to tetracyclines, quinolones, β-lactam, and aminoglycosides, in accordance with the antibiotics widely used in the clinic for humans or animals. The emergence, prevalence, and differences in resistance genes in the intestines of yaks, beef, and dairy cattle may be caused ...
In recent years, WHO has recognized antibiotic resistance as one of the most important current threats to global health and food security. Even when the process happens naturally, it is accelerated by the wrong use of antibiotics in humans and animals, and the effectiveness of these in the trea...
