What is NOT a general mechanism of antimicrobial drug actions? What mechanisms might arise to allow resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics? Explain how organisms can develop resistance to chemical disinfectants. Define cellular immunity. What is the purpose of an antibiotic resistance gene in the ...
DRUG resistance in bacteriaPUBLIC healthCONTENT analysisDOCUMENTARY filmsIn this article, we discuss the role of participatory video (PV) as a tool for developing community-level solutions to 'Antimicrobial Resistance' (AMR) in Nepal....
Antimicrobials are medicines used to prevent and treat infections in humans, animals and plants. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites resist the effects of available antimicrobial medications. This makes it easier for infectious diseases to spread and to cause more ...
What is antibiotic resistance and how can we measure it? Antibiotic resistance is being found with increasing frequency in both pathogenic and commensal bacteria of humans and animals. Quantifying resistance with... HC Davison,JC Low,MEJ Woolhouse - 《Trends in Microbiology》 被引量: 101发表: ...
Fighting antimicrobial resistance involves developing new antibiotics and making sure they reach the people who need them. This is what organizations like theGlobal Antibiotic Research and Development Partnershipwere created to do. We are seeing encouraging progress for an antibiotic against drug-resistant...
Using antibiotics when they are not needed or taking the wrong antibiotic significantly contributes to antibiotic resistance. This is because antibiotics not only kill harmful bacteria, but they can also kill helpful bacteria that may protect you from the harmful bacteria. When helpful bacteria die, ...
Given the severity of the antibiotic-resistance problem, it would be a good idea to find out more about them.The first step is to run more clinical trials. Interest from Western firms is growing. But it is being held back by the fact that phages are an even less appealing investment ...
The widespread implementation of Antibiotics has saved millions of lives and yet within 80 years of the introduction of penicillin, antimicrobial resistance has been associated with nearly 5 million deaths.1It is postulated that AMR may overtake cancer as a leading cause of mortality by 20502. It...
Re: What to do about antimicrobial resistance: WHO publishes list of bacteria for which new antibiotics are urgently neededdoi:10.1136/bmj.i3087BMJ
Meanwhile, there is growing global concern over antibiotic resistance, including in Streptococcus pneumoniae, the major respiratory bacterial pathogen in children and adults [20, 21]. Antibiotic consumption is an important driver of antibiotic resistance [22], and antimicrobial stewardship programmes seek ...
