Data on Point Prevalence Surveys (PPSs) in India are limited yet. We report findings of a PPS conducted core "National Antimicrobial Consumption Network site" under National Centre for Disease Control - WHO project "Point prevalence survey antimicrobial consumption at healthcare facilities." A cross-sectional was as per the "WHO methodology antibiotic use hospitals" tertiary care hospital December 2021. were collected using predesigned and pretested questionnaire separate hospital, ward,...
Objective: The study was conducted to quantify antimicrobial utilization and determine the patterns of antibiotic use in Indoor patients ICUs hospital. Methods: Point Prevalent Survey (PPS) a core “National Antimicrobial Consumption Network site” as part National Centre for Disease Control-WHO project “Point prevalence survey consumption at healthcare facilities.” per “WHO Methodology PPS on Antibiotic hospitals” March, 2022. Altogether, 1396 eligible were admitted during period, 1109...
Summary Effective antimicrobials play an important element in modern medicine’s success treating infections, without which the patients would be put at risk. Along with naturally occurring process of antibiotic resistance, misuse/overuse these antibiotics also leads to them losing their effectiveness. It limits treatment options as microbe that had previously been sensitive becomes resistant. This bibliometric study was performed by searching Scopus database according a specific search...
Summary Antimicrobials are lifesaving medicines, but their misuse drives antimicrobial resistance. Schools, as educational hubs wield transformative potential in fostering responsible behavior among students and the broader community. An online campaign targeted Delhi schools, training teachers master trainers who, turn, educated 359,940 students. Significant pre- to post-test score improvements were observed (6.98–8.14; P < 0.01) (5.20–6.56; 0.01). The received excellent feedback (85%),...
Of the 43 mpox cases reported by WHO in South East Asia between January 2022 and March 2023, 24 (56%) were from India.
In May 2018, a laboratory network for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in Tamil Nadu, India, detected cluster of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. Typhi) isolates resistant to ceftriaxone. We investigated describe the epidemiology and identify risk factors outbreak.We conducted unmatched case-control studies. defined case as illness (fever with abdominal pain, diarrhea or vomiting) person blood culture-confirmed ceftriaxone-resistant S. isolated between January 1 July 4, 2018...

Antibody test is used in seroprevalence surveys for Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). Apart from estimating the proportion of population infected, they can help drawing plenty inferences about extent, progress and course pandemic. They potentially be helpful planning prioritising vaccine distribution by providing a broad overview into immune to COVID-19 geographic area also understanding pockets high or low seroprevalence. This review was conducted with an aim compiling updated...
