Abstract

Antibiotics are drugs that target and destroy bacteria, and they are hailed as one of the most amazing medical breakthroughs of the 20th century. They have completely changed how we treat infections and have saved countless lives. But their usefulness is not limited to just medicine; they have also been used for many years in sectors like farming to prevent infections in animals, especially in less wealthy countries. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites to resist the effects of antimicrobial agents, like antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics, that were once effective in treating infections caused by these organisms. AMR presents an intricate challenge that endangers the health of both humans and animals, as well as the global economy, and the security of nations and the world at large. Because resistant bacteria are swiftly appearing and spreading among humans, animals, and the environment worldwide, AMR is acknowledged as a challenge within the framework of One Health. The One Health approach involves cooperation among various fields to attain the best possible health outcomes for humans, animals, and the environment. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. AMR is not merely a scientific or medical issue; it is a societal challenge that demands collective action and awareness. In the intricate tapestry of society, every thread contributes to the fabric of AMR, and every individual holds a stake in its resolution.
抗菌药耐药性:根据 "一种健康 "方法,来自社会和对社会的影响
抗生素是针对和消灭细菌的药物,被誉为 20 世纪最惊人的医学突破之一。它们彻底改变了我们治疗感染的方式,拯救了无数生命。但是,抗生素的作用并不仅限于医学领域;多年来,抗生素还被用于养殖等行业,以预防动物感染,尤其是在不太富裕的国家。抗菌药耐药性(AMR)是指细菌、病毒、真菌和寄生虫等微生物抵抗抗菌药(如抗生素、抗病毒药、抗真菌药和抗寄生虫药)作用的能力。AMR 带来了错综复杂的挑战,危及人类和动物的健康、全球经济以及国家和整个世界的安全。由于抗药性细菌在全球人类、动物和环境中迅速出现和传播,AMR 被视为 "一个健康 "框架内的一项挑战。一体健康 "方法涉及各个领域之间的合作,以实现人类、动物和环境的最佳健康结果。它承认人类、动物和环境健康之间的相互联系。AMR 不仅仅是一个科学或医学问题;它还是一个社会挑战,需要采取集体行动并提高人们的认识。在错综复杂的社会织锦中,每一根线都对 AMR 的结构做出了贡献,每一个人都与解决这一问题息息相关。
