The state of knowledge about antibiotic resistance gets a powerful update today with a new report from the think tank known as CDDEP—the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy—and what it has to say, about the rise in resistance around the world, is disturbing.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned member nations against the return to pre-antibiotic era on account of excessive and indiscriminate use of life-saving medicines and their over-the-cou

Nagpur: Thirty per cent of diseases in the world are caused due to environmental factors. Unfortunately, the burden of these diseases is much higher in children.

Antibiotic resistance among enterococci and γ-proteobacteria is an increasing problem in healthcare settings. Dense colonization of the gut by antibiotic-resistant bacteria facilitates their spread between patients and also leads to bloodstream and other systemic infections. Antibiotic-mediated destruction of the intestinal microbiota and consequent loss of colonization resistance are critical factors leading to persistence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

KOLKATA: Thanks to indiscriminate use of antibiotics, infection control may become a tough task in the city.

Scientists found DNA footprints of 78 disease-causing micro-organisms on notes.

Doctors Should Avoid Prescribing Them As They Create Resistance To Condition
Use of antibiotics to treat acne can have serious consequences, new research suggests.

I do not know how best to respond to the question that, these days, many parents ask me.

Chile's salmon farmers are using record levels of antibiotics to treat a virulent and pervasive bacteria, driving away some U.S.

The decreasing effectiveness of antimicrobial agents is a growing global public health concern. Low-income and middle-income countries are vulnerable to the loss of antimicrobial efficacy because of their high burden of infectious disease and the cost of treating resistant organisms. We aimed to assess if copayments in the public sector promoted the development of antibiotic resistance by inducing patients to purchase treatment from less well regulated private providers.
