ANTI MICROBIAL RESISTANCE TOPIC: Science & Tech Context- In the past few years, alarmingly high resistance rates in pathogens of public health importance have been reported from Indian hospitals. Concept- The “Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 204 countries and territories in 2019 (GRAM)” report, released last month by Lancet, provides the […]
ANTI MICROBIAL RESISTANCE Subject : Science & tech Context : Antimicrobial resistance: the silent threat . Tackling the problem would mean engaging the health, agricultural, trade and environment sectors. Concept : Anti microbial resistance is the resistance acquired by any microorganism (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasite, etc.) against antimicrobial drugs (such as antibiotics, antifungals, […]
Subject : Science & tech Context : Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials has led to a steep rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), impacting planetary health, global economies and stalling sustainable development. Concept : AMR is the resistance of a microorganism (bacteria, parasites, viruses or fungi) to an antimicrobial drug that was originally effective for treatment […]
