Insights

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in enteric infections is a growing global concern, linked to travel and social factors. Prevention strategies focusing on OneHealth approaches can significantly improve public health outcomes by addressing shared drivers.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Microbiology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in enteric infections is increasing globally.
  • Spread is facilitated by global travel and interconnected social determinants.
  • Pathogen-specific factors contribute to AMR phenotypes and profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the global rise of AMR in enteric infections.
  • To identify shared drivers of enteric infections and AMR.
  • To advocate for integrated prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global trends in AMR and enteric infections.
  • Analysis of pathogen-specific risk factors and AMR profiles.
  • Examination of overlapping social drivers and preventable risk factors.

Main Results:

  • AMR in enteric infections is a worldwide issue affecting all income settings.
  • Specific AMR phenotypes are linked to pathogen-driven spread.
  • Many drivers of AMR and enteric infections are preventable.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated OneHealth prevention strategies are crucial for combating enteric infections and AMR.
  • Addressing shared, preventable risk factors can optimize public health.
  • Global collaboration is essential to mitigate the impact of AMR.

Development of Antibiotic Resistance01:30

Development of Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern that arises when bacteria evolve mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotic treatments. This resistance can be intrinsic, acquired through genetic mutations, or transferred between bacteria via horizontal gene transfer. The development of antibiotic resistance poses significant challenges in treating bacterial infections and necessitates ongoing research to develop new therapeutic strategies.Intrinsic resistance occurs when bacterial...

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Antimicrobials as Antidiarrheal Agents

Acute diarrhea, a common gastrointestinal disturbance, is characterized by the rapid evacuation of fluid stools, leading to an excessive weight in fluid. This condition typically arises from disorders affecting intestinal water and electrolyte transport. It can be triggered by an increased osmotic load within the intestine, excessive secretion of electrolytes and water, mucosal exudation of protein and fluid, or altered intestinal motility. The primary risks of acute diarrhea are dehydration...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Stringent Response in E. coli

Bacterial growth is closely tied to nutrient availability, with cells proliferating exponentially under favorable conditions and entering a stationary phase when resources become scarce. This transition is mediated by a regulatory mechanism known as the stringent response, which allows bacteria to adapt to nutrient deprivation by modulating gene expression and metabolic activity.During nutrient scarcity, intracellular amino acid levels decline. It results in the accumulation of uncharged tRNAs...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.
