What Is the Role of Research in Combating MDR Infections?
Research plays a pivotal role in understanding and combating MDR infections. Studies focus on:
- Mechanisms of resistance: Understanding how pathogens develop resistance. - New antibiotics: Developing novel antibiotics that can bypass existing resistance mechanisms. - Alternative therapies: Exploring non-antibiotic treatments such as probiotics, nanotechnology, and gene editing. - Epidemiology: Tracking the spread of MDR infections to develop effective prevention strategies.
