COVID-19 Pandemic and Antimicrobial Resistance
Contributed by Dr. Ashok Tamhankar and Dr. Nishtha Khatri
The COVID-19 Pandemic seems to have had a huge impact on Public Health. Use of antibiotics in patients suffering from COVID-19 is mainly focused on the secondary bacterial co-infection which is often seen in patients suffering from COVID-19. The article by Duin et al. in JAC-antimicrobial resistance debates out the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Antimicrobial Resistance. At a time when Antimicrobial Resistance is in itself considered as a pandemic in waiting, it would be interesting to keep a watch on the surge in use of antibiotics in the COVID era.
