Antibacterial Resistance and Its Consequences for Global Public Health
Background Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the most severe threats facing public and health care. Aim of study Study of bacterial resistance to some types of antibiotics, which shows their impact on society in general and on individual health in particular. The result This study included testing an important group of antibiotics on a number of patients suffering from chronic infections. The study included various samples of blood, urine, stool, and swabs from the pharynx and wounds for examination. Susceptibility to antibiotics for the purpose of knowing and estimating the extent of resistance to antibiotics within the governorates of Iraq, with the exception of the Kurdistan region, where the study included 18,216 samples. the proportion of fight to the antibiotics used in the training, which are (Nitrofurantoin (29%), Gramycin (41%), Doxycycline (40), Tetracycline (53%), Augmentin (76.5), Methprim (57.02), Amoxicillin (73.96), Ampicillin (81.77%)). The results of this study underscore several alarming patterns concerning antibiotic resistance observed in clinical isolates. Material and methods Susceptibility to antibiotics for the purpose of knowing and estimating the extent of resistance to antibiotics within the governorates of Iraq, with the exception of the Kurdistan region performed using the disk diffusion method. Conclusion Ampicillin, Augmentin, amoxicillin, Methprim, tetracycline, gentamicin, doxycycline, and nitrofurantoin showed differing levels of resistance, highlighting the widespread issue of antimicrobial resistance. These resistance trends are consistent with prior studies and emphasize the critical importance of implementing thorough antimicrobial stewardship initiatives to address and curb the proliferation of resistance.
