Antibiotic Resistance Threat

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health crisis threatening our ability to treat common infections. Antibiotic Resistance Threat explores the origins, mechanisms, and impact of resistant bacteria, highlighting the urgent need for action. A key insight is how bacteria develop resistance through genetic mutations, enabling them to evade the effects of antibiotics. Factors such as antibiotic overuse in both human medicine and agriculture significantly accelerate the spread of these resistant strains, leading to increased healthcare costs and potentially untreatable infections.

The book adopts a comprehensive approach, beginning with the history of antibiotics and basic microbiology. It then delves into the mechanisms of resistance and the epidemiology of resistant infections, examining their prevalence in different regions. A significant portion is dedicated to analyzing potential solutions, like antibiotic stewardship programs, and the development of novel therapies.

This evidence-based analysis, drawing from medical research and public health data, separates facts from speculation, providing actionable recommendations for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and concerned citizens.
