Antimicrobial Resistance is Not The Future – It’s a Present-Day Concern
It is not the condition that the body does not respond to antibiotics.
It is caused when the bacteria do not respond to antibiotics.
It is a global health challenge.
The unselective and frequent use of antibiotics has emerged as a threat to effective treatment.
It leads to treatment failure and the spread of the disease.
Ultimately, developing resistance to the drug.
Antimicrobial Resistance- Why and How?
The bacteria or the microbes change their structure.
It gets adapted to the antibiotics.
The medicine becomes ineffective.
It is not able to treat bacterial infection.
Antimicrobial resistance is caused by –
Over prescription/self-medication –
The frequent use of antibiotics.
The self-medication causes an overuse of antibiotics.
Without identifying the strain, these are used over the counter to treat simple flu and viral infections.
Antibiotics in viral infections –
Antibiotics can’t be used for viral diseases.
It cannot cure viral infections.
It causes unnecessary exposure. It provides an opportunity for the bacteria to develop resistance.
Incomplete treatment – It leaves the viable bacteria.
The remaining microbes lead to the development of resistance.
Overuse of antibiotics –
The use of pesticides in agricultural processes.
The antibiotics in cow milk.
It causes an accumulation of antibiotic content in the body.
It increases the risk of developing resistance.
Insanity and unhygienic –
The contaminated water and surface.
It is the breeding area for resistant bacteria.
Incorrect use of antibiotics –
Not using a specific antibiotic for the particular strain.
It increases the risk of resistance.
How does antimicrobial resistance lead to treatment failure?
The development of resistance to the bacteria renders the following effects-
It leads to inefficacy of the treatment.
It causes the spread of bacterial infection.
It leads to the use of stronger antibiotics for infections.
It advances the disease to chronic and complex conditions.
