Significance of Antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a significant global health issue that occurs when bacteria evolve to withstand the effects of antibiotics, often due to excessive or inappropriate use. This phenomenon makes previously treatable infections difficult to manage, posing serious public health risks. As bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and E. coli adapt, standard treatments become ineffective, leading to increased complications in healthcare. The World Health Assembly has emphasized the urgent need to address antibiotic resistance to prevent further escalation of this pressing threat.

The concept of Antibiotic resistance in scientific sources
Antibiotic resistance is the adaptation of bacteria that makes antibiotics less effective, raising concerns over conventional antimicrobial use, which can cause drug residues and disrupt gut flora, ultimately allowing bacteria to survive previously effective treatments.
From: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research
(1) The ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotics, which is a concern in the treatment of recurrent infections.[1] (2) The growing inability of bacteria to be affected by antibiotics, necessitating the exploration of alternative treatments like essential oils.[2] (3) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs that once effectively treated infections caused by them.[3] (4) A global threat characterized by the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, often exacerbated by inappropriate use.[4] (5) The ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat.[5]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of medications that once killed them or inhibited their growth, often resulting from genetic changes.[6] (2) The development of bacteria that can survive exposure to antibiotics, making these medications less effective in treating infections.[7] (3) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs that once could successfully treat the infections they cause, exemplified by A. baumannii's resistance to various antibiotics.[8] (4) The growing ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs that once effectively treated infections, complicating treatment options for foodborne pathogens.[9] (5) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of an antibiotic that they were once sensitive to.[10]
From: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology
(1) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of an antibiotic, complicating the treatment of infections, including periodontal diseases.[11] (2) The phenomenon where bacteria evolve to resist the effects of medications that once killed them or inhibited their growth, making traditional treatments less effective.[12] (3) The ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotics that were previously effective against them.[13] (4) The growing number of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, leading to a need for alternative treatments such as probiotics.[14] (5) The ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotics, posing a challenge in the treatment of infections.[15]
From: International Ayurvedic Medical Journal
(1) A growing issue where bacteria become immune to the effects of antibiotics, complicating the treatment of infections like UTIs.[16] (2) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of medication that once successfully treated them, recognized by WHO as a major global public health threat.[17] (3) Antibiotic resistance is a condition exhibited by bacteria when they evolve to withstand the effects of antibiotics, complicating the treatment of infections.[18] (4) A growing challenge in treating urinary tract infections, resulting from the widespread emergence of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotic therapies.[19] (5) Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of antibiotics, making them less effective in treating bacterial infections.[20]
From: Ancient Science of Life
(1) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs that once managed to kill them, prompting the search for alternative antimicrobial agents from plants.[21] (2) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotic medications, a concern highlighted in relation to the efficacy of current treatments.[22] (3) The ability of microorganisms to withstand the effects of drugs that once were effective against them, posing significant challenges in healthcare.[23] (4) The ability of bacteria to survive and grow despite the presence of antibiotics, leading to treatment failures in bacterial infections including acne.[24] (5) The phenomenon where bacteria evolve to become resistant to antibiotics, complicating treatment options.[25]
From: Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine
(1) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, often resulting from their frequent and improper use.[26] (2) Antibiotic resistance refers to the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, often exacerbated by their misuse in medical prescriptions and resulting in public health crises.[27] (3) A major public health concern that arises from the inappropriate and irrational use of antibiotics, leading to the emergence of resistant microbial populations.[28] (4) The ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making infections harder to treat and posing a significant challenge to modern medicine.[29]
From: AYU (Journal of Research in Ayurveda)
(1) A potential issue arising from the use of conventional antimicrobial agents, which can lead to drug residues in the milk and disruption of gut flora.[30] (2) The ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs that once killed them or inhibited their growth.[31] (3) The phenomenon where bacteria adapt in a way that renders antibiotics less effective, a key concern overspoken in the study.[32]
