Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance stands as a multifaceted challenge imperiling global public health. Over decades of antibiotic use and misuse, bacteria have evolved mechanisms to withstand the drugs designed to eliminate them. The misuse of antibiotics in agriculture, healthcare, and self-medication has accelerated this process, fostering the emergence of resilient bacterial strains. Resistance mechanisms include the acquisition of genetic mutations and the exchange of resistance genes among bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. In healthcare settings, the overprescription and inappropriate use of antibiotics contribute significantly to resistance development. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis are stark examples of bacteria that have evolved formidable resistance, rendering conventional treatments ineffective. The dire consequences of antibiotic resistance include prolonged illnesses, increased healthcare costs, and elevated mortality rates. Addressing this crisis demands a multifaceted approach, incorporating responsible antibiotic use, surveillance, development of new antibiotics, and global collaboration to curb the spread of resistant strains.
