Significance of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are microorganisms that have evolved to withstand the effects of antibiotics. This resistance makes infections harder to treat, necessitating the development of new antibacterial agents and posing significant health challenges. Factors contributing to this issue include antibiotic overuse and misuse, as well as environmental factors. Various strains, like MRSA, are of particular concern. These resistant bacteria pose a global health threat, prompting research into alternative treatments and novel strategies to combat them.
Synonyms: Drug-resistant bacteria, Resistant pathogens, Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, Antimicrobial-resistant organisms, Multidrug-resistant bacteria, Resistant pathogens.

Hindu concept of 'Antibiotic-resistant bacteria'
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Hinduism describes bacteria like MRSA and VRE that resist antibiotics, complicating infection treatment. Overuse of antibiotics fuels their development, prompting the search for alternative solutions, such as exploring Oxalis corniculata.
From: Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences
(1) Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as MRSA and VRE, have complicated the treatment of bacterial infections, necessitating the development of new antibacterial agents, which is where Oxalis corniculata is investigated.[1] (2) These are bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics, making future infections more difficult to treat, and overuse or misuse of antibiotics can contribute to their development.[2]
From: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine
(1) These are microorganisms that are no longer killed by antibiotics, a growing concern in modern medicine, which has led to the search for alternative treatments.[3]
The concept of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria in scientific sources
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are bacteria that have developed the ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics. This resistance makes infections harder to treat, posing a public health threat and leading to challenges in the medical field.
From: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (MDPI)
(1) These bacteria cause a significant percentage of diagnosed infectious diseases globally each year, according to estimates, highlighting the severity of the problem.[4] (2) Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a challenge to treating infectious diseases, and their increase is related to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics.[5] (3) Antibiotic resistant bacteria play a major role in the microbial degradation of antibiotics, and they can produce degrading enzymes.[6] (4) Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are bacteria that have developed the ability to survive exposure to antibiotics, posing a significant threat to public health.[7] (5) These bacteria, or ARB, are found in municipal sewage treatment plants, receiving gut bacteria from households, hospitals, and animal husbandry previously exposed to antibiotics.[8]
From: Sustainability Journal (MDPI)
(1) "Antibiotic-resistant bacteria" can develop due to the preventive use of antibiotics in barns, posing a serious problem to humans when diseases are no longer treatable.[9] (2) These may cause future pandemics due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, rendering these medications ineffective against several bacterial strains.[10] (3) It refers to bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics, driving the need for alternatives to antibiotic use in farmed animals.[11] (4) These are strains of bacteria that have developed resistance to medications, posing a greater threat to human health when found in the water.[12] (5) Antibiotic-resistant bacteria development is a public health challenge exacerbated by the presence of antibiotics like sulfamethoxazole in the environment, highlighting the need for effective removal strategies.[13]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) These bacteria pose a threat to the world population due to the recurrence of infectious diseases.[14] (2) A type of bacteria that medicinal plants are effective against, according to the text.[15] (3) These are bacteria that have developed the ability to resist the effects of antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.[16] (4) Medicinal plants are effective against broad spectrum of these.[17] (5) The rate of emergence of these bacteria is not matched by the development of new antibiotics.[18]
From: Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research
(1) Migratory birds act as reservoirs and transporters of these and consequently play a significant epidemiological role.[19] (2) This phrase describes bacteria that have developed the ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making infections caused by them difficult to treat.[20] (3) These are bacteria that have developed the ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics, posing a significant challenge in treating infections in both animals and humans.[21] (4) This refers to bacteria that are not affected by antibiotics, and they pose a challenge for the food industry.[22] (5) These are bacteria that have developed the ability to withstand the effects of antimicrobial agents, often emerging due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in the aquaculture industry.[23]
From: Journal of Medicinal Plants for Economic Development
(1) The text discusses the issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly focusing on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the need for new strategies to combat these infections.[24] (2) These are bacteria that are not affected by antibiotics, and medicinal plants are being explored as a potential source of antimicrobial agents to combat them.[25] (3) These are bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics, posing a major global health concern that requires novel treatment strategies.[26] (4) These are bacteria that have developed the ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making them difficult to treat, which is a concern.[27]
From: Asian Journal of Pharmaceutics
(1) These are bacteria whose occurrence may be promoted by penicillin residues in food products.[28] (2) The overuse of antibiotics has been associated with emerging resistance of these since the 1950s.[29]
