A Computational Aspect to Analyse Impact of Nutritional Status on Drug Resistance

Drug resistance is increasing with a very fast rate now-a-days. There are a lot of reasons that lead to drug resistance in our body. But, the most common reasons are Genetic conditions, Mutation of the pathogen, Side effects of other medications, and Medicinal abuse. Nutritional status of our body has significant role in combating the development of drug resistance. In this study, we use a computational aspect to analyse the impact of nutritional status on drug resistance. We use all the three situations of nutritional status like under-nutrition, normal-nutrition, and over-nutrition in the formulation of equations to relate drug resistance. Our experimental results show that the situation of under-nutrition sharply boosts the development of drug resistance, normal-nutrition deliberately controls the drug resistance while over-nutrition boost the drug resistance but it is better compared to under-nutrition. These results clearly show the impact of nutritional status on drug resistance at par clinical expectations.
