Antibiotic protects our body from bacterial attacks. It also acts as a medicine. But it also has some side effects. If excess antibiotic is used, the body develops resistance towards it. That is, no medicine affects the body in any kind of disease. So why and how antibiotic resistance is increasing here.
India has long been known for spreading superbugs and drug resistant TB named New Delhi metallo-beta lactamase-1 and now India is also the world’s largest hotspot in terms of antibiotic resistance in animals too Is becoming Apart from India, countries like China, Pakistan, Vietnam, Turkey, Brazil and South Africa are also hotspots of antibiotic resistance in animals. Princeton University and the Delhi-based Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy, together have conducted a review study which has been published in the journal Science.
Antibiotic being given to animals due to demand for animal protein in
this study, it is reported that in view of the increasing demand for animal protein in low and middle income countries, animals are given antibiotics to increase production so that they are more healthy. To become. A local study in Mumbai in May 2019 revealed that antibiotic resistance was found in chicken liver meats and eggs collected from 12 different poultry shops in Mumbai.
Salmonella bacteria showing resistance to many antibiotics
In this study, samples of the bacterium Salmonella were tested which have been resistant to most antibiotics used worldwide. Common antibiotics involved are amoxicillin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamicin, levofloxacin, nitrofurantoin and tetracycline.
Take According to this study and middle income countries is to meet the demand is growing rapidly as well as animals have problems to become an Aentibayotik resistance in food. But no one is paying attention to it. You will be surprised to know that these days animals are consuming 3 times more antibiotics than humans. Ramanan Lakshminarayan, the main author of the study, said the study found that between 2000 and 2018, the antimycotic resistance found in food animals was more than 50 percent.
This trend is also dangerous because increasing antibiotic resistance in animals will ultimately harm humans.
