Multidrug-resistant infections: looming threat in the Indian clinical setting.

Introduction: The recent increase in multidrug-resistant strains of has increased the incidences of ventilator-associated pneumoniae, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and central line-associated blood stream infections, together increasing hospital stay, treatment cost, and mortality. Resistance genes are dominant in India. Carbapenem-resistant () International clone-2 (IC-2) are rising in India.

Antimicrobial resistance and the post antibiotic era: better late than never effort.

: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a multi-layered problem with a calamitous impact on humans, livestock, the environment, and the biosphere. Initiatives and action plan to preclude AMR remain poorly implemented in India.: This review highlights essential factors contributing to AMR, epidemiology of the resistant bacteria, current treatment options, economic impact, and regulatory efforts initiated by the Indian government to tackle AMR.
