Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance takes a place when a microorganism develops the ability to resist the action of an antimicrobial. (AVMA) In other words, the microorganism progress, ways to stay alive and reproduce in the presence of an antibiotic that used to prevent these actions. At this time, the process of resistance development is a very difficult process and researchers do not know for sure about what can make a resistance happen. (AVMA) Antimicrobials are spread through the food production systems and the use of antimicrobials is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. (AVMA) Antibiotics are used to prevent known disease infections in animals and to maximize the production. Furthermore, antibiotics are used to control and treat diseases of animals. (AVMA) As of right now, there is no evidence that antimicrobials can reduce or improve the human health and better the use of antibiotics. (AVMA) Antiviral resistance occurs in the course of flu season and thereafter. As flu replicates, the genetic may change in a way that it becomes resistant to antiviral drugs used to treat the flu. CDC routinely collects information through the global surveillance system but flu viruses constantly changes and that is a concern for everyone. (CDC, 2015)
Ask medical or health care provider if tests will be done to see if right antibiotic is prescribed for your sickness. The healthcare provider will advise you to complete the given doses and never skip or stop from it. (CDC, 2014) Medical provider will also say not to save prescribed medicine for next illness and dispose any leftovers. If you can stay on top of immunizations and have a good hand hygiene practice will help to prevent antibiotic resistance. (CDC, 2014) I think in order to protect patients from facing antimicrobial resistance, close monitor and tracking of resistance patterns will be required to improve the
