ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
what ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE means
Antibiotic resistance is said to be the ability of micro-organisms and specifically bacteria to survive and keep producing its damages by multiplying inside the host despite of the fact that antibiotic drugs are used against them
WARNING TO POST-ANTIBIOTIC ERA
Post-Antibiotic era for men is unacceptable , as without antibiotics it will be so difficult and almost impossible to cure even very little injuries .before the warning time ends and we are unable to fightback antibiotic resistance , we must take important steps without any delay and lengthen the period of Antibiotic treatment era
MECHANISM OF ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANCE
There are various ways through which , bacteria become resistant to drugs that are used to kill them , some of them may include
- mutations in genetic coding
- blockage of drug receptors
- USE OF FLUX-PUMP
- MULTI-RESISTANT GENES
PENICILLIN-DISCOVERER SAYS
“There is the danger”, he said, “that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant.”
THE-WHOLE STORY AND SOLUTION
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
The most alarming and life threatening situation in medical field.Many of the previously used life saving drugs like that of penicillin and tetracycline group of drugs have become resistant and shows no affect to various bacterial infections ,that later on grow to dangerous and incurable diseases and in many cases patients die.This antibiotic/drug resistance problem is increasing so rapidly that ,it looks we are going to enter in post-antibiotic era where little bacterial infections will cause death.The causes of this problem includes; self-medication, improper diagnosis of disease by physicians, over-use of Antibiotics in Agriculture and Animal treatment, low-dose and incomplete treatment courses.after going through various articles over Antibiotic-Resistance, I came to realize if we want to live a healthy life we must not rely on Antibiotic use over very minute problems .Allah almighty has blessed us with a powerful immunity that can itself fightback various problems without taking medicines. So if we can not afford post-antibiotic era , we must be playing our part of role and avoid ignorance towards our health.Today almost entire world including Pakistan is facing the problem of Antibiotic resistance ,to overcome this the government must take notice and arrange certain awareness programs among the local citizens and some spacial workshops for physicians and similarly enough budget should be provided to the pharmacy to introduce new drugs that are useful against resistant bacteria.

advanced research in antibiotic resistance
the modern research in this issue addresses that spread of Multi-resistant bacteria are major causes of this .
Various articles and research papers suggest that if this resistance kept rising and no measures are taken then it may cause post-antibiotic era
IMPORTANT ISSUE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM
The main issue and actual problem about antibiotic drugs resistance is the lack of knowledge to the common people and its improper diagnosis by the physicians and the ignorance about its advanced studies by the scientists
spreading of antibacterial resistance
MY PERSONAL VIEWS ON THIS TOPIC
having studied about this topic from my teachers , mentors and from various authentic books and articles , i am at a views that although resistance shown by various strains of even same species of bacteria and other microbes is a very clever and outstanding way of their survival which has really made many scientists to think like to combat and to fight against this evil of microbes is nearly impossible and the governments , organizations and various responsible authorities has put their lesser interests over its solution but being a student of veterinary medicine and a scientific era i can claim going through this article about antibiotic resistance , one can get some sort of help to combat this severe issue of scientific era
