Abstract:
Abstract Introduction According to NICE guidelines, individuals with moderate to severe acne may be recommended a fixed combination of topical treatment along with either oral lymecycline or doxycycline for a 12-week regimen1. If improvement is observed in these patients, continuation of the oral antibiotic and non-antibiotic-topical treatment for an additional 12 weeks is advised. It's important to adhere to these guidelines and avoid prescribing monotherapy topical antibiotics, monotherapy oral antibiotics, or the combination of topical antibiotics with oral antibiotics2. This audit aims to verify our compliance with these guidelines and ensure the appropriate use of antibiotics in our prescribing within a digital setting where patients undergo photo assessment consultations. Aim The objective of this audit is to ascertain our adherence to the NICE acne guidelines regarding the duration of oral antibiotic therapy prescribed and the accurate prescribing of topical treatments in conjunction with the oral antibiotic1. The audit criteria entail ensuring that 100% of consultations result in prescriptions aligning with the following: oral antibiotic treatment not exceeding 6 months, a prescribed non-antibiotic topical treatment alongside oral antibiotics, and avoidance of prescribing a combination of topical antibiotics with oral antibiotics. Method A retrospective review was conducted on all consultations involving the prescribing of oral and topical antibiotics from 22.4.2023 to 18.4.2024. Each consultation was assessed for the quantity of oral antibiotics prescribed over a 12-month period and examined for the accompanying topical treatments. Additionally, checks were made to determine if the patient was currently taking any oral or topical antibiotics from other sources, ensuring that antibiotics were not overprescribed and that co-prescribing practices adhered to guidelines. Ethical approval was not required since this is a clinical audit. Results The data extraction identified 427 consultations in which patients were prescribed either oral antibiotics (361 cases) or topical antibiotics (Duac-66 cases). In 99% of the consultations, patients were not prescribed oral antibiotics for more than six months. The remaining 1% of patients had already been prescribed oral antibiotics from other sources. It is noted that additional queries should have been conducted to ascertain the duration of antibiotic use prescribed elsewhere. Furthermore, 99% of consultations adhered to the criteria of prescribing a non-antibiotic topical treatment alongside an oral antibiotic. The remaining 1% involved patients who were already using a topical antibiotic from another source, which should have been further investigated to ensure cessation upon initiation of the prescribed oral antibiotics. In all cases, patients were prescribed an appropriate topical treatment in conjunction with an oral antibiotic from our digital setting. Discussion This audit confirms high compliance with NICE guidelines for acne treatment within our digital consultation framework1. Specifically, 99% of consultations adhered to the duration regimen of oral antibiotics, ensuring prescriptions did not exceed six months. Additionally, the majority of cases, correctly included non-antibiotic topical treatments alongside oral antibiotics, minimising the risk of antibiotic resistance. However, slight differences were noted in cases where patients had existing prescriptions from other sources. These findings highlight the effectiveness of our prescribing practices and the importance of thorough patient medication history reviews. References 1.

Abstract:
Abstract When combined with nanomaterials, antibiotics show antibacterial activity against susceptible and resistant bacterial strains at significantly lower concentrations. Unfortunately, to date, no research study has examined the effect of the antibiotic mode of action and mechanism of bacterial resistance on the effectiveness of combined antibacterial treatment with nanomaterials. Therefore, in this review, we performed a thorough analysis and critical evaluation of previously published data related to the combined antibacterial effect of antibiotics with nanostructured materials with a targeted focus on relationships between antibiotic’s modes of action and bacterial resistance mechanisms for relevant nanomaterials and their impact on the resulting synergistic effects. Following thorough data analysis and critical discussion, we have discovered and are the first who present that antibiotic’s mode of action and bacterial resistance mechanism determine the final effectiveness of combined antibacterial treatment with nanomaterials. We therefore conclude that only certain combinations of nanomaterials with antibiotics can lead to the enhancement and restoration of the antibacterial effectiveness of antibiotics against certain resistant bacteria. Moreover, the recently occurring development of bacterial resistance towards nanomaterials is also discussed together with a possibility of how to prevent it. All discovered findings provide a new view and perspective on this issue helping to navigate further approaches to combat the antibiotic crisis.

Abstract:
Antibiotic resistance in various living animals as well as human organisms is considered one of the problems of our time. Antibiotics used for curative-prophylactic purposes in animals, as well as various feed additives and growth promoters, can cause resistance to the antibiotic. We have investigated biological samples of 50 cattles, and in 35 samples out of them were detected E-coli and in 9 cases Salmonella spp.es were found. Belonging to the group of enterobacter: Salmonella spp. and E-coli spp. were studied to determine their response to 16 antibiotics. According to the results of the research, the detected pathogenic microbes showed absolute, 100% resistance to 7 out of 16. It is recommended that the availability of antibiotics to livestock owners be tightened. Organize the sale of antibiotices only on the advice of a veterinarian. Add monitoring volumes of feed additives and growth promoters.

Abstract:
Overuse of antibiotics has the potentiall for irrational use. This is one of the factorss that cause resistances. WHO in the field of antimicrobial resistance:According to the Global Surveillance Report, Southeast Asia has the highest level of antimicrobial resistance in the world, especially against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Ministry of Health, 2015). Results of the AMRIN (Antimicrobial Resistance in Indonesia) study conducted from 2000 to 2005 showed that approximately 43% of E. coli are resistant to various types of antibiotics, including:
 ampicillin (34%), co-trimoxazole (29%), chloramphenicol (25%) (Minister of Health of the Republic, 2015). Irrational use is a major factor in high antibiotic resistance rates. Lack off publicc knowledges about antibiotics can affect attitudes and healths behaviorss, including irrationall use of antibiotics. Knowledge plays an important rolee in shaping beliefs and attitudess about certain behaviors, such as behavior when taking antibioticss. Education level is thought to have a significant impact on this behavior (Ivoryanto, 2017).

Abstract:
Abstract Background Appropriate periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis is critical to optimize in order to reduce excessive antibiotics exposure for patients and to minimize the risk for procedure-related infection. Wrong antibiotic or excess antibiotics increase the risk for development of antimicrobial resistance, Clostridium difficile infection, adverse side effects. Incorrect or missed antibiotic can put the patient at risk for an infection. Methods Interventions included education of vascular and interventional radiology (IR) consult RN and physicians regarding updated institutional antimicrobial prophylaxis guidelines for vascular and IR procedures, creation of a consulting template that incorporated ongoing antibiotics. Review of recent cultures was incorporated into workflow and consult evaluation. Handoff between the IR RN and IR attendings was expanded to include a review of antimicrobials. Results All IR cases were reviewed for antibiotic administration for 3 months pre- and post-intervention. In the pre-intervention timeframe, 23 of 290 procedures (7.9%) were associated with inappropriate antibiotic administration, further delineated as 6 cases where no antibiotics were given, 7 cases of inappropriate antibiotics administered, and 10 cases where extraneous antibiotics were administered. Of the 39 total procedures where antibiotics were indicated, 17 (43.6%) were associated with antibiotic errors. In the post-intervention period, only 9 of 309 total procedures (10.3%) were associated with inappropriate antibiotic administration: missed antibiotics in 3 cases, inappropriate antibiotics in 4 cases, and unnecessary antibiotics in 2 cases. Of the 32 cases where antibiotics were indicated, only 7 (21.9%) were associated with antibiotic errors. Conclusion Incorporating current antibiotics and review of culture data in a preoperative review and template for patients who need a surgical procedure helps guide appropriate antibiotic decision-making and greatly decreases administration of unnecessary antibiotics.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Few studies have been done on inpatient antibiotic use in Japan and antibiotic stewardship programs with dedicated full-time equivalents are rare. We sought to better understand inpatient antibiotic use in Okinawa, Japan. We applied the World Health Organization (WHO) Access, Watch and Reserve (AWaRe) Classification to compare our findings to international literature. Access antibiotics are common front-line antibiotics, Watch antibiotics are high-priority antibiotics with toxicity or resistance concerns, and Reserve antibiotics are last-line treatments for multi-drug resistant infections. Methods A point prevalence study was conducted in five hospitals in Okinawa, Japan on Oct 1, 2020. Physicians conducted chart reviews of all patients receiving intravenous antibiotics. Type of antibiotic, reason for use, duration, and microbiologic data was collected. The primary aim was to evaluate the proportion of patients who received antibiotics on the assessment date; secondary aims were to categorize antibiotics according to indication, class and AWaRe classification. Descriptive statistics were used to derive the distribution of AWaRe Classifications and drug class. Results 1,728 unique patients were included and 504 (29%) received ≥1 antibiotic on the assessment date. A total of 559 antibiotics were used for 504 patients and 22.0% (n=123) were for prophylaxis. Of those receiving antibiotics for treatment (N=436), 385 (88.3%) patients had a documented infection source. The most common indications for antibiotic use were pneumonia (24.2% n=93), urinary tract infection (19.7% n=76), and intraabdominal (17.9% n=69). Overall, 43.1% (n=241) of the antibiotics were categorized Access and 54.4% (n=304) Watch [Figure 1]. Cephalosporins were the most common antibiotic class (56% n=313), followed by β-lactam inhibitors (18% n=106) and narrow penicillins (8.2% n=46) [Figure 2]. Conclusion 29% of inpatients in these 5 Okinawan hospitals were prescribed an antibiotic on the survey date. A majority of antibiotics used fall under the WHO AWaRe Watch classification which are antibiotics that may be more likely to cause resistance. Understanding appropriateness of antibiotics used in this population could inform antibiotic stewardship strategies and reduce antibiotic resistance. Figure 1.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Antibiotic resistance is a global health emergency fueled in part by non-indicated use of antibiotics. Current public education campaigns primarily focus on the risks of global antibiotic resistance or society-wide adverse impacts of antibiotic misuse. There has been little research into what messages have the greatest impact on patient requests for non-indicated antibiotics. Methods We administered a survey at a primary care clinic in August 2018. Participants rated 18 statements about potential harm from antibiotics on how that statement changed their likelihood to request antibiotics for an upper respiratory tract infection (URI) on an 11-point Likert scale. These included 8 statements about potential harm to the individual, 4 statements about potential harm to contacts of the individual, and 6 statements about resistance or the societal impact of antibiotic misuse. Before and after the survey, participants rated how likely they were to request antibiotics for a URI. Results Of 1150 adult patients in clinic over the 6 days of the survey, 250 completed the survey. Statements about potential harm to the individual decreased patient likelihood to request antibiotics more than statements about societal impacts of antibiotic misuse. (P < 0.001). Statements about potential harm to contacts of the patient also decreased patient likelihood to request antibiotics more than statements about resistance or societal impacts of antibiotic misuse (P < 0.001). Statements discussing antibiotic resistance were less likely to impact patient likelihood to request antibiotics than statements not mentioning antibiotic resistance (P < 0.001). All statements decreased patient likelihood to request antibiotics. Overall likelihood to request antibiotics decreased after the survey (from 5.3 pre- to 3.1 post-survey, P < 0.001). Conclusion Statements about how potential harm of antibiotics to the individual had a greater impact than statements about resistance or societal impact of antibiotics. Our results suggest that when dissuading patients from requesting non-indicated antibiotics, providers and public health campaigns focus on the potential harm of antibiotics to the individual patient rather than on antibiotic resistance or societal impacts.

Abstract:
Background: The management and control of gonorrhea are hampered by the widespread resistance to the diverse strains of Neisseria gonorrhea. Resistance to sulfonamides, penicillins, tetracyclines, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, and early cephalosporins has emerged rapidly. Purpose: This systematic review aimed to assess what antibiotics can be used as an alternative therapy for gonorrhea infections that are resistant to antibiotics. Methods: The study was conducted using the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines. Risk of Bias for Randomized Trials (RoB2) was utilized to evaluate study quality. Results: This review included 28 articles from randomized controlled trials between 2013 and 2023, distributed across five nations. The studies included 2.380 patients and clinical isolates from men and women diagnosed with gonorrhea infection at various sites. Sample testing by treatment with alternative antibiotics. Discussion: Zoliflodacin, tigecycline, and ertapenem in single or dual therapy with ceftriaxone could be considered as a potential option in treating gonorrhea resistant to antibiotics. Gentamicin cannot be recommended to replace ceftriaxone as first-line therapy. Gepotidacin is effective for the Gyr A A92T mutation in gonorrhea infection. Summary: The effectiveness of these antibiotics, zoliflodacin, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, gepotidacin, solithromycin, tigecycline, and ertapenem is considered a solution to gonorrhea resistance. Researchers should study how to provide antibiotics with intervening multidrug efflux pumps to overcome gonococcal antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract:
Bangladesh is a developing country with a very high prevalence of antibiotic resistance where irrational use of antibiotics is very common. This cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the knowledge of antibiotics and antibiotic usage behavior (Antibiotic use, self-medication, adherence to therapy) among the people of Bangladesh. The association between participants’ knowledge of antibiotics and their antibiotic usage behavior was also analyzed. A cross-sectional survey based on a structured questionnaire was conducted in the Dhaka district. The questionnaire included questions about demographic information, participants’ knowledge of antibiotics, and their recent antibiotic usage. The data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression. Very few participants knew that antibiotics are not effective against most common colds (16.8%), viruses (22.5%), and pains (41.7%). Most respondents (>75%) knew that excessive use of antibiotics and failing to complete a course may render antibiotics less effective in the future. However, only 56.1% were aware of antibiotic resistance. About half (46.6%) of the participants took antibiotics in the last six months, 20.5% of whom resorted to self-medication and 23.1% reported non-adherence to therapy. Greater knowledge of antibiotics was significantly associated with lower rates of self-medication (p=0.037). Misconceptions about antibiotics and antibiotic misuse are very common in Bangladesh. The findings suggest that misconceptions about antibiotics and antibiotic misuse are very common in Bangladesh. To mitigate these problems, interventions comprised of educational campaigns and redesigning of the healthcare system and policies should be undertaken.

Thank you.<br>Antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains continually arise and their increasing prevalence poses significant clinical and societal challenges. Functional analyses of resistant mutants and the study of general stress responses perturbed by antibiotic treatment have yielded valuable insights into how resistance arises through mutations. However, less is known about the population dynamics and communal interactions that underlie the development of resistance through mutations. In this work, we utilize systems approaches to study the functional dynamics of bacterial populations evolving antibiotic resistance. We follow a continuous culture of Escherichia coli facing increasing levels of antibiotic and show that the vast majority of isolates are less resistant than the population as a whole. We find that the few highly resistant mutants improve the survival of the populations less resistant constituents, in part, by producing indole, a signaling molecule generated by actively growing and unstressed cells. We show, through transcriptional profiling, that indole serves to turn on drug efflux pumps and oxidative stress protective mechanisms. The indole production comes at a fitness cost to the highly resistant isolates, and wholegenome sequencing reveals that this bacterial altruism is enabled by drug-resistance mutations unrelated to indole production. This work establishes a population-based resistance mechanism constituting a form of kin selection whereby a small number of resistant mutants can, at some cost to themselves, provide protection to other more vulnerable cells, enhancing the survival capacity of the overall population in stressful environments. Deeper studies into cooperative strategies bacteria use to evade antibiotics may prove critical for the rational design of more effective antimicrobial interventions.<br>2031-01-01

Abstract:
There is a tension between the need to use antibiotics to prevent adverse outcomes from infection, and a consequence of their use, which is antibiotic (treatment) resistant infection. Actions taken to control the spread of antibiotic resistant microbes, and constraints on the use of antibiotics both give rise to ethical tensions. I consider the evaluative framework and the principles that might be used to decide a just distribution of burdens and benefits associated with the use of antibiotics. Nussbaum specifies a list of capabilities. A minimum sufficiency of each capability is required for a life of human dignity. Nussbaum’s approach provides a richer framework for the evaluation of the distribution of burdens and benefits associated with the use of antibiotics than prevailing health economic, or prevalence of disease measures. There are contexts in which we cannot assure a sufficiency of capabilities. I consider the potential for Scanlon’s contractualism to provide principles for deciding the distribution of burdens and benefits associated with the use of antibiotics under differing levels of resource constraint. Finally I consider the influence of metaphor and analogy in the context of the human relationship with microbes.

Class of 2011 Abstract<br>OBJECTIVES: To determine the appropriateness of antimicrobial therapy in patients initiated on empiric meropenem therapy. METHODS: Adult patients prescribed empiric meropenem therapy between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010 at a tertiary care, academic medical center were included. Data collected included site of infection, culture and susceptibility data, risk factors for multi-drug resistant organisms, and changes in antimicrobial therapy during the first seven days after meropenem therapy was initiated. Demographic variables included age, sex, weight, and race. RESULTS: RESULTS: A total of 89 patients were included in the study analysis. Initial culture(s) was obtained before administration of antibiotics in only 58% of patients. During the first 24 hours of admission, four or more different antibiotics were prescribed in 26% of patients often with overlapping spectrums of activity. The majority of patients received meropenem for either less than 1 day or greater than 4 days. CONCLUSION: The primary issues identified with appropriate antibiotic prescribing involved the timing of cultures, and multiple changes in antibiotic therapy without culture-driven reasoning.

Os fármacos utili- zados foram os antibióticos Amoxicilina, Ampicilina, Cefalexina e Ciprofloxacina. O adsor- vente de carvão ativado foi caracterizado por análise textural, determinação dos grupos funci- onais da superfície pelo método de titulação de Boehm e por FTIR e determinação do pH de ponto de carga zero (pHPCZ). Foi observado que o carvão apresenta uma área superficial de 745,38 m2/g , é constituído principalmente por microporos, é levemente alcalino (pHPCZ: 7,58) e possui tanto grupos funcionais ácidos como básicos em sua superfície. Os resultados mos- traram que a eficiência de remoção não sofre influência significativa do pH na faixa de 2 a 10. Os experimentos de adsorção foram realizados pelo processo de batelada, onde soluções aquosas de cada antibiótico foram colocadas em contato com diferentes dosagens de carvão ativado (0,05 a 2 g) a temperatura ambiente. As concentrações dos fármacos foram determi- nadas por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (HPLC), usando como fases móveis água e metanol em sistema de bombeamento gradiente. Os resultados de exatidão (repetibilidade), dos limites de detecção e de quantificação da técnica analítica demonstraram a aplicabilidade do método. A eficiência de remoção foi superior a 90% para todos os antibióticos. O equilí- brio de adsorção dos antibióticos foi alcançado após 4h e foi expresso por meio de isotermas de adsorção de acordo com os modelos de Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin e D-R. A isoterma de Langmuir foi a que melhor representou os dados experimentais da adsorção dos antibióti- cos em carvão ativado. A cinética de adsorção dos fármacos foi discutida...<br>This report is about medicine removal from water by using adsorption process, employing activated carbon as absorvent obtained from baía coconut nutshell. The medicines used were the antibiotics Amoxillin, Ampicillin, Cephalexin and Ciprofloxacin. The activated carbon adsorbent was characterized by textural analysis, surface functional group determination by Boehm and FTIR titration method and the pH of point of zero charge (pHpzc) determination. It was observed that carbon presents a 745,38 m2/g superficial area, its essentially composed by micropores, its slightly alkaline (pHpzc: 7,58) and owns either acidy or basic functional groups on its surface. The results showed that removal performance does not suffered signifi- cant influence from pH on a group from 2 to 10. The adsorption experiments were accom- plished by batch process, where watery solutions from each antibiotic were in touch with dif- ferent activated carbon doses (0,05 to 2 g) and environmental temperature. The medicine con- centrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatgraphy (HPLC), employing water as moving phases and gradient methanol pump system. The accuracy results (repeata- bily), detection limits and quantification of analytic technique presented the aplicability of the method. The removal performance was higher thn 90% to all antibiotic. The adsorption bal- ance of antibiotics was reached after 4 hours and it was expressed by adsorption isotherms according to Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and D-R models. Langmuir isotherm best repre- sented experimental data of antibiotic adsorption on activated carbon. The adsorption kinec- tics of medicines was discussed employing pseudo first and second order kinetic models, by Elovich and intraparticle difussion. The kinectic model of pseudo second order can better de- scribe medicine... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

A influência da complexação de íons ferro, a concentração de H2O2 e o pH na velocidade inicial de degradação dos antibióticos foi avaliada. A degradação de SDZ e STZ foi melhorada na presença de Fe(III)-oxalato em comparação a Fe(NO3)3, alcançando completa degradação após 8 minutos de irradiação em pH 2,5 na presença de 5 mM H2O2 (equivalente a [H2O2]/[antibiótico] = 50). Também foi possível estender a faixa de pH do processo foto-Fenton na presença de Fe(III)-oxalato alcançando mais de 69% de degradação em pH 6, embora sem significante mineralização. A comparação da cinética de degradação dos antibióticos indicou que a STZ é mais recalcitrante provavelmente devido à baixa densidade eletrônica do seu anel tiazol em relação ao anel pirimidínico na SDZ. Experimentos de fotodegradação das sulfonamidas por irradiação gama da água na presença de N2O foram executados e seus produtos de degradação, identificados por análise LC/MS, foram comparados àqueles formados por processo foto-Fenton. Os intermediários de degradação formados são compostos hidroxilados após entrada de grupos hidroxilas no anel benzênico assim como no anel pirimidínico na molécula da SDZ e no anel tiazol na molécula da STZ, seguido por abertura dos anéis durante processo de descarbonilação<br>The photo-Fenton degradation of the sulfonamide antibiotics sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfathiazole (STZ) mediated by Fe(III)-oxalate was studied in this work. The influence of iron complexation, H2O2 concentration and pH on the initial SDZ and STZ degradation rate was evaluated. Degradation of both antibiotics is improved in the presence of Fe(III)-oxalate in comparison to free iron, achieving complete degradation after 8 min irradiation at pH 2.5 in the presence of 5 mM H2O2 (equivalent to H2O2/antibiotic = 50). It was also possible to extend pH range of the photo-Fenton reaction by the use of Fe(III)-oxalate reaching more the 69% degradation at pH 6, however without significant mineralization. Comparison of the degradation kinetics of both sulfonamides indicated higher recalcitrance of STZ due to the lower electron density of its thiazol ring in relation to pyrimidine ring in SDZ. The sulfonamides photodegradation experiments by water gamma-irradiation in presence of N2O were also executed and their by-products, identified by LC/MS analysis, were compared to that formed from photo-Fenton process. The intermediates of degradation formed are hydroxylated compounds with entrance of hydroxyl group in the benzenic ring as well as in both pyrimidine ring in the SDZ molecule and thiazole group in the STZ ring, followed by rings opening during decarbonylation process

Abstract:
Abstract Nussbaum’s capability theory by drawing attention to multiple determinants of wellbeing provides a rich and relevant evaluative space for framing antibiotic resistance. I consider the implications of antibiotic resistance for child development and adult capabilities. There are common risk factors for childhood growth stunting and the spread of infectious diseases in both antibiotic sensitive and resistant forms. The interaction between infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance and growth stunting illustrates a clustering of disadvantage. The control of antibiotic resistance requires wide-ranging cooperative action. Cooperation is predicated on an expectation of equitable access to effective antibiotics. This expectation is confounded by inequality both in access to antibiotics, and in the risk that available antibiotics will be ineffective. Securing child development (and adult capabilities) requires that inequalities both in access to antibiotics and in risk factors for the dissemination and transmission of antibiotic resistance are addressed. Inequality undermines the cooperative activity that is control of infectious diseases and compounds the threat to the securing of capabilities that arises from antibiotic resistance.

Abstract:
Background: Antibiotics are antimicrobial drugs used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. They played a pivotal role in achieving major advances in medicine and surgery (1). Yet, due to increased and inappropriate use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance (AR) has become a growing public health problem. Information on antibiotic prescription patterns are vital in developing a constructive approach to deal with growing antibiotic resistance (2). The study aims to describe the population based antibiotic prescriptions among patients attending primary care centers in Qatar. Methodology: A population based observational study of all medications prescribed in the all Primary Health Care Centers during the period of 2017-2018 in Qatar. Records with all medication prescriptions were extracted and linked to medical diagnosis. Antibiotics prescriptions records were compared to non- antibiotics records using logistic regression model in identifying the potential predictors for antibiotic prescriptions. Results: A total of 11,069,439 medication prescriptions given over a period of two-years, we found about 12.1% (n= 726,667) antibiotics prescriptions were antibiotics, and 65% of antibiotics are prescribed and received by the patients at the first visits. Paracetamol (22.3%) was the first highest medication prescribed followed by antibiotics (12.1 %) and vitamin D2 (10.2 %). More than half of all antibiotics prescribed during the period of January 2017 to December 2018 were Penicillin (56.9%). We found that half of the antibiotics (49.3 %) have been prescribed for the respiratory system comparing to the other body system. We found that males were 29% more likely be given an antibiotic compared to females (OR=1.29, 95% CI= 1.24- 1.33). Implications: The study provides a baseline data to enable PHCC management to design effective intervention program to address the problem of antibiotics resistance. Furthermore, it will help the policymakers to comprehend the size of the issue and develop a system to manage the antibiotics therapy. Conclusion: Antibiotics was the second highest medication prescribed in the Primary Health Care Centers in Qatar after paracetamol and most of the patients received it at the first visit. Most of the prescriptions in Primary Health Care Centers in Qatar were for the respiratory system, and Penicillin was the highest class prescribed. Male visitors were prescribed antibiotics more than female visitors.

Abstract:
β-Lactam antibiotics have been extensively employed in bacterial treatment ever since penicillin's groundbreaking discovery. Despite the proliferation of antibiotics in the pharmaceutical sector today, bacteria often evolve defense mechanisms. Chief among these is the production of β-lactamase enzymes, which degrade β-lactam antibiotics, representing a prevalent form of antibiotic resistance. Additionally, these antibiotics exhibit limited biodegradability, with only 20% breaking down naturally. Hence, finding effective methods to mitigate the presence of β-lactam antibiotics is crucial in combating antibiotic pollution.

Abstract:
Antibiotics play a huge role in poultry production as they are used to treat clinical diseases, to prevent and control common diseases and to enhance animal growth. However, misuse of antibiotics over time has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance in both animals and humans. Therefore, antibiotic free production of poultry has been on an increase in line with consumers’ preference for the same. However, a ban on antibiotics places a heavy burden on disease control and production costs of poultry. It also creates a need for alternatives whereby major companies have developed products like probiotics and essential oils in order to reduce the need for antibiotics in poultry production. The aim of this review is to highlight the journey towards antibiotic-free poultry production, role of antibiotics in the development of resistance, challenges encountered and alternatives used in antibiotic free production. In conclusion, this article recommends that antibiotics should not be completely banned due to poultry welfare issues. However, antibiotics should be used by trained personnel to only treat and control diseases.

Abstract:
The development of antimicrobial resistance is closely related to the consumption of antibiotics in poultry, with the increase in the use of antibiotics, the incidence of antimicrobial resistance also increases, therefore it is important to monitor and verify the effectiveness of the antibiotics used in poultry farming. The probability of antibiotic treatment failure rises as a result of the transfer of resistance genes from poultry to people. Both human and animal welfare have benefited from the usage of antibiotics. However, improper use of antibiotics in any sector leads to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms that have negative health effects on both people and animals. It is well known that more than 50% of all antibiotics produced globally are used in animal production, both therapeutically and non-therapeutically. This study documents antibiotic usage in poultry farming with specific focus on the role of poultry production in the development of antimicrobial resistance pathogens. The market of veterinary medicines, including antibiotics, in the Republic of Moldova is mainly covered by imports. Thus, about 87% of the antibiotics that can be used in poultry farming are imported and only 13% from local production. Another important aspect with reference to antibiotics used in poultry farming is the fact that about 21% of antibiotics are part of category B (the group of antibiotics that are of critical importance in human medicine), according to the classification of AntiMicrobial Expert Group. Therefore inappropriate use of antibiotics from this category represent an increased risk to human health.

Abstract:
Scientists are working to develop new types of antibiotics to combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. One potential source of these new drugs is the plant Cannabis sativa L., which has been used for medical purposes for centuries. The beneficial properties of this plant are mainly due to the presence of compounds called cannabinoids. Researchers are currently exploring the use of cannabinoids to treat various infections, although they are mainly known for their psychoactive effects. Some studies have shown that certain cannabinoids can be effective against harmful bacteria including those that are resistant to common antibiotics. In addition, a combination of different antibiotics has been shown to be more effective than a single antibiotic.

Abstract:
Endophytic bacteria have a great potential to be applied as biofertilizers and biopesticides, but their information as a source of antibiotics still needs to be developed and explored. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential sources of antibiotics in endophytic bacteria isolated from the stems of Setigi, Wahong, Bongko, Kalimosodo, Dewandaru, and Legundi plants on Karimunjawa Island. Molecular approaches were performed to isolate, characterize, and identify bacterial endophytes as potential antibiotic sources by plate assay and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Dewandaru isolate was identified as gram-negative bacteria, whereas; gram-positive bacteria were detected in other isolates. Moreover, Setigi and Dewandaru isolates showed the highest level to inhibit the growth of Fusarium sp and displayed 99% similarity with antibiotic-producing bacteria, namely Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus cereus, respectively. These results indicate the possibility of antibiotic activities by Setigi and Dewandaru isolated. Therefore, it is assumed that both Setigi and Dewandaru isolates potentially appeared as new antibiotics sources from local plants. This study provides novel insight into the future production of novel antibiotics derived from plant-associated endophytic bacterial as a strategy for increasing the application of natural compounds to control plant diseases in agriculture.

Abstract:
Introduction: Patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units (ICU) have a more complex clinic and are more susceptible to polypharmacy with antibiotics, and this factor can compromise the care with safe patient care. Objective: To verify patient safety in the prescription of antibiotics in the ICU and its relationship with the length of stay in a large hospital located in the north of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methodology: Cross-sectional study in which electronic medical records of patients admitted to the ICU, from February to May 2019, using antibiotics and hospitalization longer than 48 hours, were analyzed. The following variables were considered: age, gender, underlying disease, comorbidities, length of ICU stay, clinical outcome, antibiotic prescribed, and antibiotic prescription errors. For statistical analysis, SPSS 2.5 statistical program was used. Approval CAAE 99487118.5.0000.5343. Findings: 238 patients admitted to the ICU were prescribed antibiotics, with a prevalence of males (54.6%) and 51.3% as the main clinical outcome were discharged. The main underlying diseases were neurological (21%), cardiac (19.7%) and infectious (16.8%). The most prescribed antibiotics, vancomycin 500mg (31.5%), ceftriaxone 1g (31.1%) and meropenem 1g (30.7%). The presence of comorbidities such as acute renal 1.77 (1.11-2.81), hepatic 1.78 (1.05-3.02) and immunodeficiency 1.78 (1.27-2.49) presented a significant prevalence ratio for length of hospital stay. It was observed that regardless of the age of the patients, with each prescription error, the more antibiotics are prescribed, and according to the comorbidities, approximately 7, 3.4 and 2 days of hospitalization are prolonged, respectively. Conclusion: Patient safety is directly impaired with each antibiotic prescription error and the greater the number of these drugs prescribed to ICU patients, the higher the prevalence of length of stay.

Abstract:
Background: Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major global public health concerns. Recent studies highlighted the threats of inappropriate use of antibiotics, especially during the health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and Objectives: A cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2022, with a total of 1014 respondents. The sample of the general population of the Republic of Serbia was obtained through stratification and three-stage sampling. The data were processed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson's chi-square test was employed to assess the significance of differences. Logistic regression models were utilized to analyze the use of antibiotics and the impact of knowledge as potential predictor of antibiotic use. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Results : The majority of respondents took antibiotics (76.8%) during 2022, most of them by a doctor's prescription (78.4%), with the following most common reasons: sore throat, cold, fever and cough. More than two-thirds of the respondents which were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, took antibiotics, while 64.8% of them had a prescription. Less than a third of all respondents (31.3%) received some advice about the rational use of antibiotics, and half of them changed their opinion about the use of antibiotics after receiving this information. Multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that female gender (OR=0.55; p&lt;0.001), a higher level of education (OR=1.44; p=0.001), and the willingness to change opinions regarding the usage of antibiotics after receiving information about the rational use of antibiotics (OR=1.28; p=0.046), were significant predictors of better knowledge about antibiotics. Employed (B=-0.900; p=0.038) and unemployed persons (B=-0.951; p=0.047) have a 60% lower chance of desirable behavior regarding antibiotics use compared to retired persons, while students (B=-1.613; p=0.016) have an 80% lower chance of desirable behavior compared to retired respondents. Conclusions: Effective communication and education about the appropriate use of antibiotic for specific population groups could mitigate the risk of antimicrobial resistance, ensuring better preparedness for future public health crises.

Abstract:
Background: Antibiotics exposure is related to gastrointestinal tract dysbiosis and appearance of systemic repercussions. Due to the correlation between Enteric Nervous System (ENS) and Central Nervous System (CNS), abnormalities in the gut microbiota have been associated with neurological disorders including Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Objectives: Search evidence in the scientific literature relating antibiotic therapy and Parkinson’s disease. Methods: A systematic review has been done using the descriptors “Parkinson’s disease”, “antibiotics” and “gut microbiota” in PubMed’s database. The research was conducted in april 2021, without temporal limitations, in english and portuguese. Results: Studies suggest that PD begins with intestinal inflammation and abnormal alpha-synuclein deposition in the ENS that follows, through nerves, to the CNS. Results show that leaky gut and dysbiosis preceded 5-10 years PD’s initial symptoms, while the intense exposure to antibiotics preceded 10-15 years the diagnostic. On average, PD patients received larger amounts of antibiotics than controls (p=0.021). Dysbiosis post-antibiotics presented reduced diversity of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Prevotellaceae and growthing of Enterobacteriaceae, resulting in higher risk of gastrointestinal infections, higher rates of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased permeability of gastrointestinal and brain-blood barriers and hyperexpression of the alpha-synuclein protein in the colon. Conclusion: Poorly controlled antibiotic therapy and its subsequent damage to gut microbiota anticipates PD’s early symptoms.

This increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance has led to the use of more expensive and broad spectrum antibiotics, contributing to increasing health care costs. Numerous strategies to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics have been implemented by investigators and organizations at the clinician, patient and organization level.

Abstract:
Data and experiences in Sweden show that it is possible to combine high productivity in animal production with the restricted use of antibiotics. The major key factors that explain Sweden’s success in preventing AMR are: Swedish veterinary practitioners were aware of the risk of AMR as early as the 1950s, and the need for prudent use of antibiotics was already being discussed in the 1960s. Early establishment of health services and health controls to prevent, control and, when possible, eradicate endemic diseases reduced the need for antibiotics. Access to data on antibiotic sales and AMR made it possible to focus on areas of concern. State veterinary leadership provided legal structures and strategies for cooperation between stakeholders and facilitated the establishment of coordinated animal health services that are industry-led, but supported by the State.

Abstract:
In-hospital infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and Clostridium difficile are associated with higher rates of death, illness and prolonged hospital stay which is a serious problem for patients and healthcare systems. These infections occur because antibiotics are used too often and incorrectly.
