Antimicrobial resistant pathogens in the ecosystem: a leap shift
ESKAPE –> SPACEMENS-CC
What are The 10 AMR bacteria threatening the public health of American people as per CDC (2019)?
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.
_________ ____ –> fungi that is becoming a challenge
Candida auris –> fungi that is becoming a challenge
