Q

What are The 10 AMR bacteria threatening the public health of American people as per CDC (2019)?

A

Ones not in red are new

C. dificile is not drug resistant, it is waiting in our GIT in the form of a spore. When we treat animals with AMR all microbiota susceptible are eradicated. These spores are not activated and prevail in the GIT and releas exotoxins, attack us, and kill people.

Q

AMR spread

Between hosts, places, and ecosystem
a - Sewages from _____ factories, _______, and ________
b - ___ ____ pathways
c - _______ and _______ = transportation

A

AMR spread

Between hosts, places, and ecosystem
a - Sewages from drug factories, hospitals, and farms
b - 7 Fs pathways
c - Travel and trade = transportation

17
Q

A
18
Q

Control AMR bacteria (national action plan):
6 goals are set in the USA

A
  1. Slow down by using correct drug, dose, and duration as per doctors.
  2. Surveillance/patrolling: watch movement.
  3. Diagnostic: without, we do not see them
  4. B/c of resistance, and no bullet to kill them, we need new drugs
  5. Collaboration
  6. Policy or practice change
19
Q
  • Antimicrobials are widely used in humans and animals to save life
  • However, misuse/abuse at hospitals/clinics or discarding in sewages of antimicrobials can induce AMR emergence
  • AMR bacteria then transmit in the ecosystem through 7F pathways and travel & trade, sometimes at a global scale
A
