THE EMERGING WORLD OF ANTIBIOTICS AND THE TERROR OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE MICROORGANISMS: A REVIEW

Abstract

In today's time many of the pathogenic bacterial strains have started showing resistance to antibiotics which is one of the biggest health challenges faced. This rising popularity gained by pathogens has a propensity to cause infection in people at any phase of life, in healthcare, veterinary, and cultivation industries, enlisting to primary public health challenges, most countries are going to encounter. Antibiotics used inappropriately in human, animals, food, agricultural arenas have caused a rather catastrophic dilemma. Antibiotic resistance results when the bacteria can resist the action of antibiotics and continue causing infection. Both gram-positive and gram-negative resistant bacteria have been deemed serious and urgent threats as they have evolved to develop resistance mechanisms, as a result, the organisms continue to grow and cause infection, even in the presence of antibiotics. In April 2014, World Health Organization (WHO) published the first global report on surveillance of AMR, illustrates the degree of this antibiotic resistance in various parts of the world and also the existence of large breaks in the prevailing investigation, therefore enumerating to be one of the gravest global public health threats in the world.
