A Comprehensive Review of the Global Distribution of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Bacteria

Krishna Xan-Xan Kumarian

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance is a global problem and is a cause of million death yearly worldwide. Bacteria resist antibiotic through many ways and used different strategies to fight antimicrobial for survival. Health sectors loss millions of Unites States Dollars yearly for using non useful antibiotics due to antibiotic resistance. Proper management of treatment and proper utilization of antimicrobial is necessary to avoid emergence of drug resistance and assisting patients to have better treatments. There are several drug resistance genes made by bacteria and all of them work to deactivate chemical structure of antibiotics. Each group of bacteria can produce different resistance gene; however, some of them work in all species of bacteria, gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. Gathering data about resistance genes in necessary in a short review to provide detailed information about this issue. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the global distribution of antibiotic resistance genes, emphasizing their impact on public health and the necessity for coordinated global efforts to combat this growing threat. Understanding the global distribution of antibiotic resistance genes is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate their spread and ensure the continued efficacy of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections. In conclusion, the global spread of antibiotic resistance genes poses a significant threat to public health. Immediate action is required to monitor and control this phenomenon, with a focus on responsible antibiotic use, global collaboration, and continued research into alternative treatments.
