Antimicrobial resistance constitutes a global burden and is one of the major threats to public health. Although the emergence of resistant microorganisms is a natural phenomenon, selection is driven by an excessive or inappropriate use of antimicrobials in health care and agricultural settings. With ...
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a global multi-faceted problem, often regarded as a “silent pandemic”, which is in part a consequence of misuse, overuse or negligent use of antimicrobials in the human, animal, plant, and environmental sectors [1], [2]. AMR occurs when bacteria, fungi,...
Overall, the emergence of infections by antibiotic resistant Gram positive and Gram negative microbes is on a great rise, taking a note on Escherichia coli, which is an increasing global concern for the resistance to antibiotics and in India the resistance is found to be more than 80% for the...
A Silent Pandemic of Antimicrobial Resistance: Challenges and Strategy for Preparedness in India In the face of growing resistance against existing antibiotics and a dried-up pipeline of newer agents, theworld is heading towardasilent pandemic. Globally, an estimated 4.95 million deaths occurred in 201...
Antimicrobial resistance is an important concern for the public health authorities at global level. However, in developing countries like India, recent hospital and some community based data showed increase in burden of antimicrobial resistance. Research related to antimicrobial use, determinants and develo...
First in India and then in the United States, it was resistant to most of the common antifungal drugs. We have to think about even resistance there. The biggest worry for the medical community in general is a new fungus that came out of basically nowhere. It was unknown until a decade ...
A research project called AMRflows, which involves experts from Newcastle University, has received ?1.2 million of UK and Indian funding to explore the role played by India?s rivers in increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Supported by the UK?s Natural Environment Research Co...
In summary, it is difficult to map out the real situation of HAI and AMR worldwide as we have fragmented and scattered data in particular in low- and middle-income countries. However, there are some relevant reports indicating that HAIs are mostly caused by pathogens that are resistance to ...
The excessive and inappropriate use of antimicrobials such as azithromycin, doxycycline, ivermectin during the treatment of COVID-19, and during secondary infections, are fuelling the raging pandemic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This was stated Dr Tanu Singhal, Paediatrician and ...
