Development of Antibiotic Resistance01:30

Development of Antibiotic Resistance

879
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...

Antimicrobial Effectiveness

810
The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...

Combined Effects of Drugs: Synergism

6.3K
Synergism is a useful mechanism where combining two or more drugs is more effective than each constituent used alone. Such combinations are also called supra-additive interactions. The drugs collectively enhance the final therapeutic effect by acting on different targets. Another advantage is that the low dose of each constituent drug is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. This helps reduce the duration of therapy and lower the adverse effects of these drugs.
Such synergistic combinations...

Obedience

35.0K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

154
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy and Medical Practice
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat.
  • Understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives is crucial for effective AMR stewardship.
  • Collaboration between pharmacists and physicians can optimize antimicrobial use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess pharmacists' and physicians' knowledge and attitudes towards antimicrobial treatment and resistance.
  • To identify knowledge gaps and practice deficiencies in antimicrobial stewardship.
  • To explore opportunities for interprofessional collaboration in combating AMR.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymous questionnaires administered to 180 community pharmacists and 181 physicians.
  • Assessed prescribing/dispensing habits, perceived contributors to AMR, and knowledge levels.
  • Evaluated self-rated preparedness for AMR-related actions.

Main Results:

  • 42% of physicians would prescribe antimicrobials when unsure of bacterial vs. viral etiology.
  • Over 50% identified family medicine doctors and patients as major contributors to AMR.
  • Physicians demonstrated significantly higher knowledge scores than pharmacists (p=0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps in knowledge and suboptimal practices exist among both pharmacists and physicians regarding AMR.
  • Enhanced patient consultation during antimicrobial prescribing and dispensing is recommended.
  • Interprofessional collaboration is needed to improve antimicrobial stewardship and mitigate AMR.
