Health Care

Antibiotic Resistance Activity

The article provides an overview of antibiotic resistance, which is a growing global health threat
caused by bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. The article describes how overuse and
misuse of antibiotics in human and animal health, as well as in agriculture and the environment,
contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. The consequences of antibiotic
resistance include increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs, as well as reduced
effectiveness of treatments for infectious diseases. The article highlights the need for a One
Health approach that encompasses human, animal, and environmental health to address this
issue. It also provides information on measures to prevent and control antibiotic resistance,
including promoting the appropriate use of antibiotics, improving infection prevention and
control, and investing in research and development of new antibiotics and alternative
treatments.
