Experiment to Demonstrate Pesticide-Induced Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): An Emerging Health Threat.

Background Pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, are essential for global food production, boosting crop yields, and preventing disease transmission. However, their excessive and improper use raises concerns about potential long-term consequences, affecting microbial ecosystems and fostering antimicrobial resistance. Materials and methods The objective of the study was to identify the effect of the pesticide compound (Imidacloprid 17.

Aerobic Bacterial Profile of Sepsis and Its Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern Among Patients in a Rural Tertiary Care Center.
