Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a national health crisis in India, with more than 80 percent of Indian patients carrying multidrug-resistant microorganisms—the highest proportion in the world[4]. Among the resistant bacteria detected, 70.2 percent were ESBL-producing organisms that are resistant to common antibiotics, and 23.5 percent were carbapenem-resistant bacteria that are also resistant to antibiotics of last resort[4]. Every year, approximately 58,000 newborns in India are associated with infections caused by resistant bacteria[4]. The occurrence of multi-resistant microorganisms forces hospitals to use stronger and more toxic drugs, prolongs convalescence, increases the risk of complications and leads to significantly higher treatment costs[4]. Scientists have found that environmental factors such as drinking water quality also contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, not just overuse of antibiotics[6]. To solve the problem, experts recommend more responsible use of antibiotics, regulation of the sale of prescription drugs, routine preoperative diagnosis and the introduction of measures to prevent the transmission of infection[4].
