Study Notes
Antimicrobial Prescription
- The three major purposes of antimicrobial prescription are:
- Treatment of infectious diseases
- Prophylaxis to prevent infection
- Treatment of non-infectious diseases (e.g. acne, rosacea)
Economic Cost of AMR
- The estimated total global economic cost of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) by 2050 is approximately $100 trillion
Routes of AMR Bacteria Mobility/Spread
- The three major routes of AMR bacteria mobility/spread mentioned in the text are:
- Human-to-human transmission
- Animal-to-human transmission (zoonotic transmission)
- Environmental contamination (water, soil, air)
Antimicrobial Overuse in Intensive Farms
- The three major purposes of antimicrobial overuse in intensive farms are:
- Growth promotion
- Disease prevention
- Treatment of diseases
Mechanisms of Action of Antimicrobials
- The different mechanisms of action of antimicrobials to inhibit or kill bacteria include:
- Interfering with cell wall formation
- Inhibiting protein synthesis
- Inhibiting DNA replication
- Disrupting membrane structure and function
