Which of the following statement about Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is FALSE.

Which of the following statement about Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is FALSE. Correct Answer Poor infection control, inadequate sanitary conditions and inappropriate food-handling discourage the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Concept:

  • Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microbes evolve various mechanisms to counter effects antimicrobial agents.
  • Infections related with AMR are difficult to deal with as it requires combination of many antibiotics drugs and their combination to treat.
  • This infections are lethal and are life threatening in most of cases.
  • With increasing use of antibiotics there are more and more numbers of drug resistant microbes are produced.

Explanation:

  • The WHO defines antimicrobial resistant when that particular microbe was once treated with that particular drug now no longer is effective against it.
  • Micro organisms are living creatures when exposed to drug or lethal agents upon them, they tend to defend themselves and develop new strategies to invade the action of antimicrobial agent.
  • The third option statement is wrong as it encourages the spread of infection.
