4. It is the ability of micro-organism to survive
concentration of antibiotic that is sensitive to
cells of same strain.
When a sensitive strain gain the ability to
withstand an antibiotic, its an antibiotic
resistant
17. Failure of response to standard treatment
Hampers the control of infectious diseases
Increase in cost of health care
Threatens a return to pre- antibiotic era
Jeopardizes health care gains to society
18. QUORUM SENSING- confers
virulence, conjugation,sporulation & biofilm
formation. Q.S. can acts as potential target for
antimicrobial resistance bacteria
Vaccination
Use of narrow spectrum antibiotics
Rapid diagnostic tests
Antibiotic susceptibility test
Rational usage of antibiotics
19. There is a need to extend
the capabilities of
antimicrobial
therapies, to develop
drugs that destroy
pathogens and also
undermine resistance
mechanism in more
effective way.
