Dr. Bhargava: Only half of all patients in our survey said they have talked with their healthcare providers about antibiotic resistance. Clinicians told us they wanted more and better educational materials for their patients. Do you think that patient education can make the difference in changing ...
Two Birds with One Stone Strategy for Controlling Environmental Antibiotic Resistance: Dual Function of Magnetic Nanosilver in Inhibiting Multidrug-Resista... Antibiotic resistance has become a complicated environmental problem. Controlling the emission of antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and...
Resistance mapping and mode of action of a novel class of antibacterial anthranilic acids: evidence for disruption of cell wall biosynthesis. METHODS: Evaluation of the cross-resistance to antibiotics with known mechanisms of action, resistance mapping and biochemical characterization of a novel class.....
The appropriate use of antibiotics in developing countries poses unique challenges due to factors such as limited access to healthcare, inadequate regulatory control, cultural practices, and low awareness about antibiotic resistance. This chapter examines the issues surrounding antibiotic use in these setti...
Resistance to topical antibiotics is increasingly relevant in dermatology. This article discusses emerging patterns of resistance and the implications for clinical practice. Emergence of resistance is complicating decolonization of the skin and nares in patients infected with methicillin-resistant Staphy...
Resistance patterns of Escherichia coli isolated from sewage sludge in comparison with those isolated from human patients in 2000 and 2009 For some time now, antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains have been found in the human population, in foods, in livestock and wild animals, as well as in s....
The occurrence and distribution of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in natural water has attracted worldwide attention. Antibiotic and ARG pollution in the surface water of drinking water sources might directly/indirectly affect human health. In this study, the distribution of 38 anti...
Increasing evidence has accumulated to support that the human gut is a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes. We previously identified more than 1000 genes displaying high similarity with known antibiotic resistance genes in the human gut gene set generated from the Chinese, Danish, and Spanish po...
Animal manure is an important source of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. However, the difference of antibiotic residu
Therefore, our study was the first to assess the influence of antimicrobial stewardship programs on antibiotic consumption, cost, and antimicrobial resistance. ASP was implemented in September 2019 based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of...
