Gunanidhi*

The effectiveness of antibiotics in treating bacterial illnesses is under threat due to antibiotic resistance, which also threatens the progress made in public health during the last century. This paper examines the many approaches and fixes required to address this pressing problem. Developing research and development for novel antibiotics and alternative medicines, improving infection prevention and control methods, and encouraging appropriate antibiotic usage through strong stewardship programs are important tactics. Mitigating the emergence of resistance requires strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing agricultural practices, and promoting international cooperation. Sustainable attempts to address this global issue are further supported by economic and regulatory measures, as well as environmental regulations. Changing the way people take antibiotics, making sure that prescriptions are followed, and minimizing abuse all depend heavily on public awareness and education. By means of all-encompassing and synchronized endeavors including healthcare, agriculture, research, policy formulation, and public involvement, we may alleviate the consequences of antibiotic resistance and ensure the effectiveness of therapies for posterity. This review emphasizes how crucial it is to maintain consistent dedication and teamwork in order to successfully confront and overcome the problems caused by antibiotic resistance.
