What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Scientists have come up with a new approach to revitalizing the efficacy of existing antibiotics to counter the rising menace of multidrug-resistant bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem of Antimicrobial Resistance<\/b><\/h5>\n

Antimicrobial resistance is emerging as one of the biggest health problems worldwide resulting in an increasing number of complicated infections that are untreatable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, WHO <\/span>has demarcated <\/span>Acinetobacter baumannii<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Pseudomonas aeruginosa,<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Enterobacteriaceae,<\/span><\/i> all of which are resistant to carbapenems (an antibiotic) as the topmost priority critical pathogens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This has triggered the use of combinations of various antibiotics to treat such complicated infections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, there was a need to develop novel therapeutic strategies to combat these multidrug-resistant pathogens.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the new approach developed by scientists?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Scientists have used adjuvants in combination with existing antibiotics like fusidic acid, minocycline, and rifampicin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This combination inactivated multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including the above-mentioned three critical pathogens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: <\/b>An adjuvant is an ingredient used in some vaccines that helps create a stronger immune response in people receiving the vaccine. In other words, adjuvants help vaccines work better.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the significance of this development?<\/b><\/h5>\n

This novel approach <\/span>will enable the existing antibiotics to be used again for treating complicated bacterial infections.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
