ABR, Pathogens, Insufficient antibiotics, PabnaAbstract
Antibiotic abuses and overuses are factors in the global issue of antibiotic resistance (ABR) which is becoming more acute in densely populated urban areas. To offer a concise summary of the present status of ABR in Pabna city, identify any deficiencies and generate recommendations based on findings, a comprehensive analysis was performed. We conducted a search for articles related to ABR published between 2003 to 2022 using search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, online and offline journals in Bangladesh. In the past, it was possible to determine the median and interquartile ranges of an organism’s ABR. Forty-two research articles were included in this review. For determining antibiotic susceptibility, approximately 95.96% of the investigations used the disk diffusion method, and about 91.98% followed the clinic and laboratory standards institute’s recommendations. However, information about susceptibility testing procedures and the source of infections-whether they were hospital-based or community-based-was conspicuously absent from about 11.19%, 12.62%, and 92.24% of the study studies, respectively. Many of the diseases studied exhibited high levels of resistance, and traditional first-line antibiotics were largely ineffective. Most of the patients displayed only mild resistance to carbapenem. A developing trend in ABR across the majority of antibiotic classes was also revealed by our findings, in addition to severe monitoring and informational gaps.
