CONTENT Drug Resistance Causes of Drug Resistance Mechanism of Drug Resistance Home medicine to combat /decrease Drug Resistance.
DRUG RESISTANCE  Drug Resistance occurs when microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites) adapt and become less susceptible to medications, making treatments ineffective.  When bacteria becomes resistant to drugs then it is known as antibiotic resistance.  According to WHO, 7 lakhs death occurs annually due to antibiotic resistant infection.
CAUSES OF DRUG RESISTANCE Overuse and misuse of Drugs. Poor Hygiene and Sanitation. Lack of new antibiotic development. Genetic Mutation and Adaptation. Inappropriate Prescribing.
CAUSES OF DRUG RESISTANCE Antibiotic use in food producing animals kills or susceptible bacteria, allowing antibiotic - resistant bacteria to thrive. Resistant bacteria are transmitted to human through the food supply.  These bacteria can cause infection in humans that may lead to adverse health consequences.
MECHANISM OF DRUGS RESISTANCE The main mechanisms by which microorganisms exhibit resistance to drugs are : Drug inactivation or modification i.e. enzymatic deactivation of Penicillin G in some penicillin - resistant bacteria through the production of ß – lactamases. Alternation of target site : e.g., alternation of PBP – the binding target site of penicillin - in MRSA and other penicillin – resistant bacteria. Reduced Drug Accumulation : by decreasing drug permeability and /or increasing actice efflux ( pumping out ) of the drugs across the cell surface.
HOME MEDICINE REMEDIES TO COMBAT DRUG RESISTANCE Herbal remedies (e.g. Turmeric and Ginger) Natural antimicrobials (e.g. honey, garlic ) Probiotics and gut health.
HERBAL REMEDIES • Turmeric (Curcuma longa) - Anti Inflammatory • Ginger ( Zingiber officinale) - Antimicrobial
NATURAL ANTIMICROBIALS Honey – Antibacterial properties. Garlic ( Allium sativum ) – Antimicrobial . Tea tree oil – Antifungal.
PROBIOTICS AND GUTHEALTH Fermented food - Yogurt and Kefir .
