Propose a plan for awareness-raising on iatrogenesis prevention in drug treatments through pharmacogenetics, distinguishing between first prescription and monitoring of treatments, drawing inspiration from the measures recently taken to combat antibiotic resistance (e.g. rapid strep test for tonsillitis or...
The gut microbiome has an important role in human health. In addition to its structural and metabolic functions, it protects the host against colonization by many external pathogens.8It is also a known reservoir for a wide variety of antibiotic resistance genes, from the resident “...
For drug discovery, AI has shown remarkable potential in identifying new antibiotic candidates by rapidly screening vast chemical libraries and predicting the efficacy and safety of potential candidates6,7. This expedites the discovery of new antibiotics and helps repurpose existing drugs to combat ...
Queensland researchers have discovered that a mutation allows someE. colibacteria to cause severe disease in people while other bacteria are harmless, a finding that could help to combat antibiotic resistance. Professor Mark Schembri and Dr. Nhu Nguyen from The University of Queensland’s Institute f...
What is Antimicrobial Resistance? Antibiotic resistance. Multi-drug resistance. Drug resistant infections. Multi-resistant organisms. These are all terms that encapsulate a single phenomenon, one that has been labeled by the World Health Organization as one of the biggest threats to public health this...
The article "Optimization of antibiotic use in the intensive care unit: how we do it" discusses the challenges of implementing antibiotic stewardship programs in ICUs to combat antibiotic resistance and improve patient outcomes. It emphasizes the importance of timely...
are resistant to all our current drugs.So, what can we do about this?We need to control the use of existing antibiotics, create new ones,combat resistance to new and existing drugs,and find new ways to fight bacterial infections.The largest consumer of antibiotics is agriculture,which uses ...
Antibiotic resistance is a major concern for public and environmental health. The role played by the environment in disseminating resistance is increasingly considered, as well as its capacity for mitigation. We reviewed the literature on strategies to control dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria...
Antibiotic resistance evolves in bacteria. Charles Darwin created the theory of evolution which focused on natural selection being the key factor of how things change. Natural selection is when organisms that are better suited to the environment are able to reproduce successfully. Evolution is descent...
