Overview

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics that were once effective at killing them or inhibiting their growth, making bacterial infections harder to treat. It develops through evolutionary processes including genetic mutation and the acquisition of resistance genes, and it is accelerated by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine, animal husbandry, and agriculture. Antibiotic resistance is a major global public-health concern because it can lead to longer and more severe illnesses, treatment failures, higher healthcare costs, and increased mortality, prompting efforts in surveillance, stewardship, and the development of new treatments. Research in this journal examines antibiotic resistance across clinical, community, and veterinary contexts. Studies include antibiotic resistance in older adults, the rise of carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, and antimicrobial stewardship knowledge and practices among prescribers. Other contributions address the molecular detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes in urinary tract infections, antibiotic-resistant urinary infection case reports, prescribing practices for respiratory infections, resistance in Salmonella Typhi, the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts, and the interplay between malaria and the global spread of resistance. Together these works frame antibiotic resistance as a field uniting microbiology, clinical medicine, stewardship, and one-health perspectives.
