are resistant to antibiotics, it will be more difficult and more expensive to treat human bacterial infections. When antibiotics fail to work, consequences include extra visits to the doctor, hospitalization or extended hospital stays, a need for more expensive antibiotics to replace the older ineffective ones, lost workdays and, sometimes, death. Antibiotics are called "societal drugs," since antibiotic resistance can pass from bacterium to bacterium (see About antibiotic resistance), and resistant
rise in antibiotic resistance. Some bacteria that can cause serious disease are becoming resistant to most commonly available antibiotics. Antibiotic medications are used to kill bacteria, which can cause disease and illness. A major contribution to human health is antibiotic medication. Many diseases that once killed people in the past can now be treated effectively with antibiotics. However, it has come to the surface that some bacteria have become resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Antibiotic
Resistance is a term used quite regularly today; there's resistance in arrests, resistance to do some good, and resistance to not let go. Resistance is fighting back and overcoming a barrier. However, the word is rarely used by the average person to talk about something that we cannot see, to maybe explain that nasty cough that won't go away, the infection that just keeps coming back, or the reason about 26,000 people die a year in the EU alone (ECDC & EMEA, 2009). This is antibiotic resistance -
The antibiotic resistance crisis: Is antibiotic dead? The world health organization, which is the firsts global assessment of antimicrobial resistance have studied that antibiotic resistance will become a major threat in the 21st century (1,2, 3, 4, 5). The antibiotic resistance crisis is when an infectious disease has developed in human population to where humans will not be able to find an antibiotic to treat these infectious diseases (2). The antibiotic resistance crisis is a major issue
Introduction Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health, food security and development today, it occurs naturally, but the pace of its process speeds up its abuse when given to humans and animals and it can harm anyone regardless of age and country of residence (Laxminarayan, et al.2013). According to World Health Organization (WHO), there are 700,000 people death every year because of antibiotic resistance (WHO,2016). A study by the Public Health Foundation in England
Antimicrobial or antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon seen when a certain microorganism (certain types of bacteria) develops a resistance for a drug that is used formerly to kill them. These resistant bacteria are emerging rapidly worldwide, affecting how a certain bacterial infection might be cured, and therefore rising a threat for patients who were treated with antibiotics a long time ago if the same type of infection. Antibiotic resistance occurred due to the overuse and misuse of a certain
promotion” (625). Pertaining to antibiotic overuse are health providers’ financial incentives, which encourage antibiotics instead of prescribed drugs (Tomson & Vlad 119; Finch 96) by emotionally, and ethically appealing to individuals with advertisements, as well as pharmacies promoting antibiotics instead of recommending the doctor in order to build their own credibility and generate profit. Although physicians may have a bad name due to their 80% overall antibiotic prescribing rate for viral infections
ANTIBIOTIC Antibiotics are a term refers to substances produced by microorganisms that can harm and inhibit or destroy other microorganisms, specifically bacteria (15). Antibiotics can be produced naturally or unnaturally via pharmaceutical industries using large-scale processes of fermentation. The antibiotics discovery has been of great significance due to in many clinical settings the antibiotics generally are the best way to destroy bacteria which cause infections in humans and animals. In 1910
Antibiotic Resistance occurs when bacteria reformat themselves in order to become unaffected by the drugs or substances created to terminate them. They gain resistance to the drugs which causes the drugs to be ineffective of use and leading to more harm. Antibiotic Resistance commonly occurs within patients due to physicians misusing or overusing antibiotics. This creates a common resistance to patients and resulting in the constant creation for new antibiotics that would treat the bacteria. The
• Topic o Antimicrobial Resistance Towards Antimicrobial Drugs • General Purpose o The general purpose of this speech is to inform people about antimicrobial resistance towards antimicrobial drugs that has been emerging since the 1940s. • Specific Purpose o The specific purpose of this speech is to inform people about the emergence and evolution of antimicrobial resistance towards antimicrobial drugs and how microorganisms have continued to build resistance to antimicrobial drugs since the 1940s
