Abstract: The 20th century witnessed the dawn of the antibiotic revolution and is now facing the rising phenomenon of antibiotic resistance. The Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR) is a quarterly online Open Access journal run by an international Editorial Board that focuses on the global spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes.. JGAR is a dedicated journal for all professionals working in research, health care, the environment and animal infection control, aiming to track the resistance threat worldwide and provides resistance to most antibiotics, leading to treatment failures and subsequent reproductive tract disease, infertility and promo-tion of the transmission of other sexually transmitted in-fections, including human immunodeficiency virus [22]. Failures of antibiotic prophylaxis arising from antibiotic resistance have also been observed. mation on antibiotic resistance and related considerations about the clinical use of antibiotics that are unique to the practice of dentistry. Overview.This report addresses the association between the overuse of antibi-otics and the development of resistant bac-teria. The Council also presents a set of clinical guidelines that urges dentists to DRM-free (PDF, EPub, Mobi) eBook Format Help She is an editorial board member of six international peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Kon's scientific contributions include more than 100 publications, 6 books and 18 scientific articles. The main focus of Dr. Kon's research is antibiotic resistance in bacteria, coping with microbial resistance by Antibiotics can accumulate in domestic wastewater where conditions are conducive to ARB growth. Disinfection with chlorine is known to drive bacterial community shifts, and one concern for the water industry is that ARBs with multidrug-resistant genes may also be chlorine resistant. Also, biofilms that persist in distribution systems could Mechanisms such as antibiotic control programs, better hygiene, and synthesis of agents with improved antimicrobial activity need to be adopted in order to limit bacterial resistance. The synthesis of large numbers of antibiotics over the past three decades has caused complacency about the threat of bacterial resistance. Bacteria have become resistant to antimicrobial agents as a result of Antibiotic resistance is a major health concern globally and has been estimated to cause 10 million deaths worldwide by year 2050 if the current trend of inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics continues. Although, the discovery of antibiotics has saved countless of lives for the past 80 years, increasing levels of bacterial resistance Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2013. is a snapshot of the complex problem . of antibiotic resistance today and the potentially catastrophic consequences of inaction . The overriding purpose of this report is to increase awareness of the threat that antibiotic resistance poses and to encourage immediate action to address the Antibiotic resistance will eventually occur because of evolutionary natural selection, but the misuse and overuse of antibiotics is dramatically escalating the process.
