Abstract
There is at present no comprehensive consensus on methodology and data collection for ABR surveillance. Schedule surveillance in most countries is often based on samples taken from patients with severe infections– particularly infections associated with health care, and those in which first-line treatment has failed. Community-acquired infections are almost positively under represented among samples, leading to gaps in coverage of important patient groups. Increasing incomes and a growing population are driving an increased demand for animal products in India, as is the case in other low and middle-income countries. Food animals are measured as key reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria with the use of antibiotics in the food production industry having contributed to the actual global challenge of ABR. In the modern era the utilization of dietary chicken is gradually increasing in India because more chicken is being consumed by the non-vegetarian populations. The recommended levels of AMAs in feed were 5- 10g/kg in 1950's and have since increased 10-20 times. The present case study is conducted in Dehradun region of Uttrakhand state of India to evaluate and assess the antibiotics mistreatment in the population. Center for Science and Environment (CSE) report indicating antibiotic residues in poultry is considered as ground motive to analyze the locality and record their antibiotic uses outcomes. The present surveillance based on the questionnaire survey; participants were interviewed with open and closed-ended questions. A total 100 individuals were involved in the study. 60% of the patients consult a doctor before starting antibiotics whereas 40% of the patients accepted that they do not consult a doctor before starting antibiotics. The recent history to suffer from a viral disease was positive in 60%. Consequently, it is accomplished that non-vegetarians are at great risk of developing antibiotic resistant due to irrational use of antibiotics among poultry along with adverse drug reaction of ADRs. The development & progression of Antibiotic resistant in Indian patients is influenced by their socioeconomic class.
