NDTV
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has escalated to pandemic levels.
The growing resistance to existing antibiotics amidst the shrinking pipeline of newer drugs is a serious threat to attaining the SDG target by 2030, according to a new study.
In the study published in the journal Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia, six-year data from 21 tertiary care centres in the Indian Council of Medical Research's AMR Surveillance Network (IAMRSN) were retrospectively analysed to estimate trends in anti-microbial resistance.
The study 'Emerging trends in antimicrobial resistance in bloodstream infections: multicentric longitudinal study in India (2017-2022)' was conducted by researchers from Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi and ICMR.
