Controlling the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance
Apr 17, 2024 · No one can completely avoid getting an infection, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk and help stop the spread of germs.
U.S. Actions & Events to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance
Dec 19, 2024 · Slow the emergence of resistant bacteria and prevent the spread of resistant infections. Strengthen national One Health surveillance efforts to combat resistance. Advance development and use of rapid and innovative diagnostic tests for identification and characterization of resistant bacteria.
The role of vaccines in combatting antimicrobial resistance
In this Review, we discuss evidence that vaccines can have a major role in fighting AMR. Vaccines are used prophylactically, decreasing the number of infectious disease cases, and thus antibiotic use and the emergence and spread of AMR.
How best to answer the question of appropriate antibiotic use? Sub-Objective 1.1.4: Develop and pilot new interventions to address clinical and other drivers of emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic misuse.
5 Factors Contributing to the Emergence of Resistance
Hospitals typically rely on two major forms of intervention to minimize resistance problems. One approach involves limiting antimicrobial use as much as possible; the other involves implementing intensive infection-control programs.
Antibiotic resistance: How to prevent the next public health …
Aug 25, 2020 · Antibiotic resistance is a major global health crisis, but with efforts to improve responsible use and end the almost 40-year drought of novel antibiotic drug discovery[48], we can take steps to prevent the next public health emergency.
Steering Evolution with Sequential Therapy to Prevent the Emergence …
Sep 11, 2015 · Using this formalism, we analyze 15 empirical fitness landscapes of E. coli under selection by different β-lactam antibiotics and demonstrate that the emergence of resistance to a given antibiotic can be either hindered or promoted by different sequences of drug application.
Strategies to Minimize Antibiotic Resistance - PMC
Although antibiotic resistance is not eliminated, it can be controlled to prevent a return to the pre-antibiotic era. Apparently, it is now clear that antibiotic use can increase the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and reducing prescribing is one of the effective ways to reduce selection pressure.
Steering Evolution with Sequential Therapy to Prevent the Emergence …
Sep 11, 2015 · Here, we develop a mathematical model of an evolving bacterial population, which allows us to predict the probability of resistant strains emerging. Using this model we show how sequences of drugs can be prescribed in order to prevent resistance where each drug …
