Review on Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance emerges as a major threat globally. By persistent selection pressure, bacteria gain the ability to resist the effects of an antibiotic. Large numbers of infectious diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases are Becoming harder to treat as antibiotics lost their effectiveness. Imprudent use of antibiotics is the key driver to the advent and Dissemination of resistant bacterial strains. Worldwide, antibiotic resistance hampers our progress in healthcare, food production, And ultimately life expectancy. Patient’s incompliance, self-medication, over-the-counter availability of antibiotics, a wrong Prescription from unskilled practitioners, diagnostic uncertainty, antibiotics used as growth promoters in animals, and globalization Are some of the predominant factors responsible for antibiotic resistance. Efforts should be made to update and monitor antibiotic Resistance across healthcare, environmental, and agricultural sectors. Educational interventions, vaccine development, and advanced Diagnostic measures throw a ray of hope in the future to curtail the emergence of new bacterial resistance strains.
