Antibiotic Resistance

Over the years, It has been observed that there is a notable increase in antibiotics resistance, due to its sale over the counter. The bacteria are becoming more capable and powerful. Resistance to antibiotics occurs when bacteria works in a way so that the medicine does not function. Bacterial changes, known as the mechanism of resistance, take various forms and can be divided among different bacteria that spread the problem. The bacteria become more powerful, and when there’s an increase in the dosage of antibiotics, so the pathogens become resistant.

Many people with infections such as H.pylori, are more likely to resist the antibiotics. Gastric cancers, ulcers are the common types of diseases that are the root causes of an elevated bacterium “Helicobacter pylori.” Studies have found that the medicines used to treat H pylori generally are resistant to antibiotics now. Pylori, from 9.9% last year, rose to 21.6% in 1998. On the other hand, some medicines showed similar increases in resistance. None of the antibiotics can combat this!

Naturally, types of bacteria and fungi are used in antibiotics to kill each other for room and food; for over a million years, they’ve done it. Due to this, they come in contact with antibiotics in the surroundings and share antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Furthermore, people are taking a surplus amount of medicine now, which is causing the bacteria to conflict.

This problem of antibiotic resistance is now a global issue and is also seen on the grounds of the World Health Organisation (WHO) to create awareness universally. The infections and the bacteria that spread due to this are harmful and are not comfortable to be treated; therefore, many people in the US and Europe alone, are dying as a direct result of the H pylori infection. It is also getting worse for the children who are likely to get sick because the bacteria affect the stomach directly and cause inflammation. This Inflammatory action in the stomach causes ulcers and gastric cancers. Also, as per the researchers, the excessive use of antibiotics in common illnesses like common cold and flu is attributed directly to these high levels.

Moreover, the studies show that if no effective treatments for this infection result, it could result in the progression of H.pylori bacterium. They are ultimately risking the health factor. A decrease in the effectiveness of existing drugs can hold gastric cancer and other conditions like ulcer diseases to their high prevalence levels, as drug resistance continues to rise. The results of this study are related to H.pylori.
