Rising Alarm of Bacterial resistance against Antibiotic threats: Global Health

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a significant threat to future healthcare and the effectiveness of treatments. Bacteria develop resistance through various mechanisms, with the presence of resistance genes being a primary factor. These genes enable the production of numerous enzymes that deactivate antibiotics by breaking down or altering their chemical structures. The resulting resistance hampers treatment efforts and contributes to the deaths of millions of patients globally. Poor hygiene and inadequate hospital management are major contributors to the spread of resistant bacteria. This mini-review explores the key causes of antibiotic resistance and the environmental factors that contribute to the dissemination of resistant bacterial strains. In Asia, due to lack of control of using antibiotics, selective pressure is high on bacteria to become resistance against antibiotics. Therefore, proper strategy of the countries in connection with world health organization is important against self-medication until we can protect the global health.
