Selective digestive decontamination (SDD) and selective oropharyngeal decontamination (SOD) have been associated with reduced mortality and lower ICU-acquired bacteremia and ventilator-associated pneumonia rates in areas with low levels of antibiotic resistance. However, the effect of selective decontamination...
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to withstand the killing power of antibiotics. In other words, an antibiotic that previously cured an infection does not work as well anymore, or may not work at all, to kill the bacteria. Your infection is not cured or may even worsen....
1Antibiotic Resistance Clue Found US scientists have uncovered a defence mechanism in bacteria that allows them to fend off the threat of antibiotics. It is hoped the findings could help researchers boost the effectiveness of existing treatments. The study published in Science found that nitric oxide...

Perhaps the single biggest public health threat today is antibiotic resistance.14 An example is gonorrhea, which was treatable by penicillin in the 1970s, but is becoming resistant even to ceftriaxone, a third generation oral cephalosporins. Gram-negative infections are becoming untreatable due to ...
"Antimicrobial resistance undermines modern medicine and puts millions of lives at risk," said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "To truly understand the extent of the global threat and mount an effective public health response to AMR, we must scale up microbiology testing and provi...
The evolution of antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious challenges facing modern healthcare [1], causing over 1.2 million deaths and tens of millions of extra days in recovery per year [2,3]. While the evolution of antibiotic resistance has been extensively studied in laboratory mono...
