In this article, we discuss the role of participatory video (PV) as a tool for developing community-level solutions to 'Antimicrobial Resistance' (AMR) in Nepal. In recent years, PV has become an ever more popular tool in d...
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 ...
The overuse of antimicrobial drugs in humans and animals is fueling a growing peril of drug-resistant infections, with few companies working to develop novel compounds that could help combat the threat. According to the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is expected to...
Among the MGE-conferred traits, AMR is of particular importance as it has been declared by WHO as one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity [6]. According to the O’Neill report, AMR accounts for at least 700,000 deaths globally every year and this figure is projecte...
In tropical settings, severe malaria is a common cause of sepsis, and antimalarial drug resistance is an increasing problem. Here, we give our perspective on the important threat of antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR) in critical care patients in LMICs, contributing factors and initiatives to ...
Antibiotic resistance: What can we do? The article offers the author's insights on the management of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among patients with infectious diseases. Topics include the prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), treatment for tube... E Warren - 《Practice...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes high levels of global mortality. There is a global need to develop new antimicrobials to replace those whose efficacy is being eroded, but limited incentive for companies to engage in R&D, and a limited pipeline
Another emerging issue with CHX is that of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), whereby the micro-organisms it is designed to kill adapt and become resistant, which means that the mouthwash becomes less effective. There are several mechanisms by which this may occur, including mutation in or the addi...
[26]. While higher mortality associated with MDROs may be related to the virulence of the pathogen and a weak (comorbidity, age, etc.) or severely ill host (organ failure status, etc.) [27,28], it is also important to highlight that delays in effective antimicrobial administration are ...
How big a problem is antimicrobial resistance? It is one of thetop 10global public health threats, and threatens to undermine years of medical progress. Nearly5 million deathswere associated withantimicrobial resistancein 2019. The African continent bears the heaviest burden. ...
