AMR in India
- India is a significant locus for the creation of resistance genes due to its big population, rising incomes that promote the purchase of antibiotics, high burden of infectious illnesses, and accessible over-the-counter access to antibiotics (such genes help bacteria in surviving on being exposed to antibiotics).
- The multi-drug resistance determinant New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) was discovered in this location and has since spread around the world.
- Multidrug-resistant typhoid, which originated in South Asia, has spread to Africa, Europe, and other regions of Asia.
- In India, microbes resistant to first-line antibiotics cause about 56,000 new-born deaths each year owing to sepsis.
