To describe antimicrobial resistance patterns of Enterococcus spp., we measured minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of five antimicrobial agents for 174 clinical isolates of enterococci collected in Taichung Veterans General Hospital from November, 1996 to January, 1998. Major sources included blood (...
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious health threat, and it has high priority among the European public health agenda. The development and implementation of the National Action Plans (NAP) with a One Health perspective to fight AMR was supported in 2017 by the European Union ...
Dr. Hosam Zowawi welcomed and introduced the panel members of local, regional and international expertise. He also congratulated Dr. Hanan Balkhy for being one of eight females on the 15 membered panel of the Inter-agency Consulting Group (IACG) on anti-microbial resistance under the Secretary...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), universally recognized as one of the most serious public health challenges of the twenty-first century [1], has grown into a global pandemic that poses a threat to human health and well-being, including health care, food production, and life expectancy [2]. Acc...
The issue of antibiotic resistance represents a significant threat that extends beyond human health, encompassing animal welfare and the sustainability of the natural environment. The inappropriate use of antibiotics, poor sanitation and inadequate control measures have contributed to the emergence of drug-...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) no longer respond to antimicrobials, rendering these specific treatments ineffective. Subsequently, this narrows the options for clinical treatment and inc
The use of antimicrobials in animals for growth promotion and infection prevention significantly contributes to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing public health threat. While the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) have take...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become one of the most serious threats to One Health. Aquatic environments are an ideal non-clinical AMR reservoir and can act as a key battlefront for tackling the AMR. However, AMR data using the One Health approach remain scarce in aquatic environments world...
Development and Implications of Antimicrobial Resistance One of the most ominous trends in the field of antimicrobial chemotherapy over the past decade has been the increasing pace of development of antimicrobial resistance among microbial pathogens. The hypothesis that man can discover a magic bullet to...
