#FitIndiaHitIndia: Rising drug-resistant typhoid in India is making common antibiotics ineffective. Know why treatment is failing and expert tips to prevent infection and stay safe.
Widespread self-medication and easy access to antibiotics are accelerating drug resistance in India. Expert warns that misuse of these medicines could soon make common infections harder to treat.
Here are 5 ways in which vaccines can help reduce antibiotics resistance in the human body.
A new report published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that better use of vaccines could help eliminate not only the dependance of antibiotics but also deaths caused by antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
At the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79), to be held in New York from 20 to 30 September 2024, WHO will call on world leaders to address the issue of antimicrobial resistance.
A recent Lancet study claims that antibacterial resistance will claim over 39 million lives over the span of 25 years; South Asia may be among the worst sufferers.
Although antibiotics are effective treatments for bacterial infections, overuse of them can be harmful to one's health. Overuse or improper administration of antibiotics can result in a number of problems.

In India, bacteria that cause common infections, such as urinary tract and bloodstream infections, are becoming resistant to nearly all antibiotics
About 8 per cent of life-threatening bloodstream infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae reported resistant to last-resort antibiotics, such as carbapenems.
Each year bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to death of an estimated 1.3 million people worldwide, according to WHO.
This year, World Antimicrobial Awareness Week is celebrated with the theme "Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance Together".
The controversial report claimed that largely, unrestricted over-the-counter sales of most antibiotics were among the reasons behind the inappropriate use of the drugs
Use of antibiotics in hospitalised patients can increase their risk of developing a life-threatening fungal infection, warn researchers.
Oral antibiotics are more likely to lead to antimicrobial resistance. On the occasion of World Antibiotic Awareness Week, experts talk about the best ways to avoid antibiotic resistance.
"If COVID-19 was a tsunami, then emerging antibiotic resistance is like a rising flood water" - says Jason Harris from the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children. Read to know the factors that are promoting antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics are designed to fight bacterial infections, they won't work on viral infections such as COVID-19. But the rise in antibiotic sales in India indicates inappropriate use of the drugs to treat mild and moderate COVID-19 infections, says a new study.
Scientists have raised the alarm after they found that diphtheria, a relatively easily-preventable infection, is quickly becoming resistant to many antibiotics.
Many COVID-19 patients are dying from secondary bacterial infections because of antibiotic resistance. Read on to know more about this.
Sanitizers and disinfectants are often mistaken to be the same thing. However, they are different products used for different purposes. Read on to know when and how to use them.
Although it is rare for pathogens to live in indoor dust, they can hitchhike into homes and mingle with existing bacteria. This increases risk of infections.
Here we tell you how you can prevent antimicrobial resistance from your end.
