Navigating the Crisis of Multidrug-Resistant Infections in Infants to Teenagers: Regional Variability and Global Solutions
Author(s): Daniel J Garcia Martinez*, Alicia Lopez Sanchez and Manuel Rodríguez Alcayna
Superbacteria, or multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms, pose a major global health threat, particularly in regions such as South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are resistant to multiple antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat. These resistant infections cause millions of deaths annually, with vulnerable groups, such as neonates and children, being particularly at risk. The overuse of antibiotics in medicine and livestock, along with weak healthcare systems, accelerates the spread of antibiotic resistance, especially in countries such as India, China, and Pakistan. Common resistant infections include urinary tract infections, neonatal sepsis, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Resistance to antibiotics, such as carbapenems and third-generation cephalosporins, along with the r.. Read More»
