Anti-Microbial Resistance in India: Causes, Consequences & Prevention - IAS EXPRESS

There are a number of diseases that occur due to microbes (microorganisms) like bacteria, virus, and parasites. Antibiotics fight against these microbes and they are widely used in the treatment and for preventing infections. However, the problem arises when people consume these antibiotics frequently. This creates antibiotic resistance where the drug does not benefit human health, but of the microbes as they are used to the drug. By the year 2050, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is estimated to account for around 10 million deaths each year around the world, of which 2 million are expected to occur in India alone. Around 30% of neonatal sepsis deaths in India are associated with AMR. Therefore India, a pharma super-power, should fix this grave threat of antimicrobial resistance.
