research is required to test the application of plant compounds in these niches, adequate evidence exists concerning their efficacy against bacterial biofilms in the environment. Bacterial biofilms provide microbes with better survival opportunities through enhanced resistance toward environmental stresses and ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health worldwide, and the rapid detection and quantification of resistance, combined with antimicrobial stewardship, are key interventions to combat the spread and emergence of AMR. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) systems are the colle...
View PDFSummary Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around the world. Previous publications have estimated the effect of AMR on incidence, deaths, hospital length of stay, and health-care costs for specific pathogen–drug combinations in select locations. ...
The use of antibiotics has enabled the successful treatment of bacterial infections, saving the lives and improving the health of many patients worldwide. However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been highlighted as a globa
The deaths caused due to drug-resistant microbes exceed 50,000 per year worldwide and antimicrobial resistance is now being considered as one of the biggest threat to human health. The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance warrants immediate attention from health professionals and political ...
India at present is one of the leading countries in antimicrobial drug production and use, leading to increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and public health problems. Attention has mainly been focused on the human and food animals’ contribution to AMR neglecting the potential contribution of the...
(P. aeruginosa)as the major cause of infectious diseases like burn and wound infection that makes it one of the most threatening opportunistic pathogens. The present research aimed at investigating antimicrobial resistance, biofilm-forming abilities, and frequency of the genes contributed toblaVEB-1,...
In low- and middle-income countries, surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is mostly hospital-based and, in view of poor access to clinical microbiology, biased to more resistant pathogens. We aimed to assess AMR among Escherichia coli isolates obtained from urine cultures of pregnant women...
Antibiotic resistance is perhaps the most important component of AMR because effective antibiotics underpin much of modern-day healthcare, from common surgeries to chemotherapy and organ transplants. We are slowly losing the race to stay ahead of bacterial resistance mechanisms and, without action, we...
World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) is an annual global week dedicated to increase the awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and encourages best practices among the general public, health workers and policy makers to avoid the f[...]
