Environmental antimicrobial resistance and its drivers: A potential threat to public health.

An Overview of Antimicrobial Stewardship Optimization: The Use of Antibiotics in Humans and Animals to Prevent Resistance

This current review will highlight the natural history and basics of the development of antimicrobials, the relationship between antim antibiotic use in humans and antimicrobial use in animals, the simplistic pathways, and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, and how to control the spread of this resistance.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Its Drivers—A Review

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical issue in health care in terms of mortality, quality of services, and financial damage. In the battle against AMR, it is crucial to recognize the impacts…

Antimicrobial Resistance: a One Health Perspective.

WHO recently has launched new guidelines on the use of medically important antimicrobials in food-producing animals, recommending that farmers and the food industry stop using antimicroBials routinely to promote growth and prevent disease in healthy animals.

Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 46: Mitigation of Antimicrobial Resistance Vol 1 Tools and Targets

The issue of antimicrobial resistance demands increased awareness among public and coordinated efforts from health practitioners to regulate usage and consumption pattern of antibiotics and policies which improve community hygiene, living conditions and vaccination coverage in population need to be strengthened, to minimize the incidences of infections.

Antimicrobial Resistance in the Food Chain: Trends, Mechanisms, Pathways, and Possible Regulation Strategies

A thorough perspective is presented on the gaps in current systems for surveillance of antimicrobial use in food production and/ or AMR in the food chain and the impact on human health if AMR is not addressed globally.

One Health—Its Importance in Helping to Better Control Antimicrobial Resistance

Necessary actions include improvements in antimicrobial use, better regulation and policy, as well as improved surveillance, stewardship, infection control, sanitation, animal husbandry, and finding alternatives to antimicrobials.

A broader overview of the role of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in nature from the evolutionary and ecological prospective suggests that antibiotics have evolved as another way of intra- and inter-domain communication in various ecosystems.

Controlling Antimicrobial Resistance through Targeted, Vaccine-Induced Replacement of Strains

It is found that a combined intervention strategy can limit nosocomial outbreaks, even when vaccine efficacy is imperfect and the broader utility of vaccine-based resistance control strategies should be further explored taking into account population structure, and the resistance and transmission patterns of the pathogen.

Persistence of Transferable Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase Resistance in the Absence of Antibiotic Pressure

Carriage of pCT was found to impose no detectable fitness cost on various bacterial hosts and an absence of antibiotic pressure and inactivation of the antibiotic resistance gene also had no effect on plasmid persistence, conjugation frequency, or bacterial-host biology.

Targeting Imperfect Vaccines against Drug-Resistance Determinants: A Strategy for Countering the Rise of Drug Resistance

It is shown that the population-wide impact of such vaccines depends on the additional effect on resistant strains and on the overall effect (against all strains) of the vaccine, and resistance-conferring accessory gene products or resistant alleles of essential genes could be valuable as components of vaccines even if their specific protective effect is weak.
