Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the path in which microbes tends to support its survival. It is always not only
about microbes there are bacteria as well for which antibiotic was invented. Then again there is also resistance to
antibiotic. It is just like AMR, the way in which bacteria grows a support system for its survival.
Each year millions of people die because of antibiotic resistance. Once it used to cure people but slowly when it
became resistance it is more harmful than useful now a days. Because these infections causes by bacteria are hard
to treat. Higher does or going for alternate path could be more difficult to save a life and costly as well.
The factors which influence antibiotic resistance can be handled in a tricky way. For instance man made causes
which includes overuse can be avoided easily. People should be more careful which drug they are taking because
taking more antibiotic than need will slower the effect of it. It should only be taken when necessary. But again
there is also abuse of prescription. Doctors have to be careful in need to save their patients. Then there is agricultural
use, in which farmers should be educated by volunteers as well as general people. Practicing good health care will
reduce diseases specifically infectious diseases. Like maintain good hygiene, hand washing, talking and
maintaining about sexual transmitted diseases etc.
Main usage of antibiotic is divided into two, human and animals. Also the spreading causes of antibiotic resistance
are these two characters. Pharmaceuticals plays a great role of dissemination of antibiotic. Especially the place
where large amount of medicines are made. Selective pressure is created because antibiotic booster. The selective
pressure in the population of bacteria is the cause of death of vulnerable bacteria. But growing reason of resistance
bacteria. These resistance bacteria are not like other bacteria they have growth advantage and it multiplies faster.
Now antibiotic resistance have become more prevalent also needing of alternate to resistant. Bacteria can have a
growth advantage and proliferate faster than vulnerable bacteria even at very low levels of antibiotic.
