Development of Antibiotic Resistance01:30

Development of Antibiotic Resistance

341
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...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

264
Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Combined Effects of Drugs: Synergism

5.1K
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...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

393
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.4K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Antimicrobials are critical for treating infectious diseases worldwide.
  • Increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global health.
  • Low- and middle-income countries bear a disproportionately high burden of AMR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.
  • To emphasize the disproportionate burden of AMR in LMICs.
  • To advocate for antimicrobial stewardship strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global antimicrobial resistance trends.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to AMR.
  • Discussion of antimicrobial stewardship interventions.

Main Results:

  • Global increase in antimicrobial resistance documented.
  • Significant burden of AMR identified in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Lack of effective surveillance and overuse of antimicrobials identified as key drivers.

Conclusions:

  • Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant global health risk.
  • Targeted interventions are needed, particularly in LMICs.
  • Antimicrobial stewardship, including surveillance and reduced overuse, is essential to combat AMR.
