Antimicrobial Resistance and Antibiotics use in Livestock Contribution to Pollution: A Case study of India | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

The mortality and economic costs associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are still a major concern. Several countries' health agencies, including India's, have devised plans to stop the spread of the disease. Humans, animals, food, and the environment must all be considered in the fight against AMR. The many components of the Indian take on the One Health movement are covered in this comprehensive examination. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major problem that threatens animal and human health, food safety, ecosystems, and the long-term viability of animal protein production, all of which are negatively impacted by the widespread use of antibiotics in animal feed. Consequences of the intense and widespread usage of antibiotics in cattle production are discussed. Resistant organisms or their genes have also been found in the environment, particularly in water sources. Two major factors contributing to antimicrobial resistance in India are the improper usage of these drugs and inadequate way in which waste water is handled. While there is information available for other nations, India is missing information about the factors that contribute to AMR, such as the use of sludge in agriculture, the inappropriate dispose of livestock animals, and the aquaculture business. While the Indian health authorities have begun taking steps to combat AMR, these efforts are in their infancy. In this review, we focus on how the creation of antibiotic alternatives in the post-antibiotic age can help ameliorate AMR issues. Here, we focus on how the creation of antibiotic alternatives in the post-antibiotic age can help ameliorate AMR issues. The future is suggested with the difficulties that India faces in mind.
