Antibiotic resistance is a growing global threat due to antibiotic misuse. Nurses play a crucial role in infection control and public health strategies to combat resistant bacteria.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Antibiotic resistance is a significant and escalating global health challenge.
  • The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine are primary drivers.
  • Factors like pharmaceutical marketing, global travel, and inadequate infection control contribute to the problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance understanding of the multifaceted issue of antibiotic resistance.
  • To identify key contributing factors to the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria.
  • To outline the potential contributions of nursing professionals in addressing antibiotic resistance.

Main Methods:

  • This article is a review and synthesis of current knowledge on antibiotic resistance.

  • It examines epidemiological factors, clinical practices, and public health considerations.
  • It focuses on the role of healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, in mitigation strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • The emergence of antibiotic resistance is driven by a complex interplay of factors including patient behavior, pharmaceutical industry influence, and agricultural practices.
    • Poor adherence to infection control measures, such as hand hygiene and environmental sanitation, facilitates the spread of resistant organisms.
    • Global travel and public health complacency further exacerbate the challenge.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive strategy involving healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public is essential to combat antibiotic resistance.
    • Nurses are uniquely positioned to implement and advocate for effective infection control and antimicrobial stewardship measures.
    • Improved understanding and targeted interventions are critical to preserve the efficacy of existing antibiotics and mitigate future risks.
