Causes of antimicrobial drug resistance
Microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, are living organisms that evolve over time. Their primary function is to reproduce, thrive, and spread quickly and efficiently. Therefore, microbes adapt to their environments and change in ways that ensure their survival. If something stops their ability to grow, such as an antimicrobial, genetic changes can occur that enable the microbe to survive. There are several ways this happens.
Natural (Biological) Causes, Gene Transfer, Inappropriate use of antimicrobials, Inadequate Diagnostics, Hospital Use; Scientists also believe that the practice of adding antibiotics to agricultural feed promotes drug resistance.
How does obesity affect society as a whole?
Obesity has significant health consequences for the individual. It is also a key contributor to other diseases and medical conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It also increases the risk of certain types of cancers and can lead to significant joint problems as excess weight wears down the ankles, knees and hips.
The most obvious impact on any increase of disease in society is the additional costs and expense required to prevent, diagnose and treat such conditions. The obese tend to have less self-confidence and are prone to anxiety and depression, as well as being subjected to teasing, bullying and other forms of abuse both in public and at work, having a clear impact on their productivity and self-esteem.
Obesity affects us by contributing to social isolation and discrimination. The mobility impairments associated with obesity may lead you to avoid public places or avoid using public facilities.
