“…This phenomenon increases the risks of disease spread and contributes to a rise in illness and death ( 2 ). In 2019, AMR directly contributed to 1.27 million fatalities worldwide, a number expected to rise to a staggering 10 million by 2050 ( 3 ).…”

IntroductionAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant public health threat, and understanding the awareness and practices of healthcare professionals is crucial for its mitigation. Since the animal sector plays a key role in India’s economy, we decided to explore the understanding of Antimicrobial Use (AMU) and AMR among veterinary professionals.MethodsThe study aimed to evaluate the awareness and behavior of veterinarians and para-veterinarians working in the Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan, India, concerning AMU and AMR. Questionnaire surveys were administered to them with closed-ended questions. The data was collected and subjected to statistical analysis to derive meaningful insights. The key findings highlight notable differences in certain behavioral aspects of antibiotic prescription among the two groups.Results and DiscussionIt appears that 53.8% of veterinarians as compared to 25.8% para-veterinarians do not surely inform farmers about the importance of adhering to antibiotic withdrawal periods, thereby failing to raise awareness about proper antibiotic use. Moreover, para-veterinarians (46.6%) tend to engage less in evidence-based antibiotic prescription than veterinarians (81%). Furthermore, both groups exhibit a lower frequency of advice on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (ABST), essential for informed prescribing decisions. Most significantly, both groups show a tendency to prefer critically important antibiotics for prescription, raising concerns about the escalating threat of AMR. This study thus emphasizes the areas that need targeted interventions to enhance responsible antimicrobial usage and curb the growth of AMR in the region.

ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify and compile gaps in the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) regarding Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) among healthcare workers in India.MethodsA systematic review of published literature from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases was conducted in compliance with the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria focused on studies evaluating KAP toward AMR among various healthcare workers in India without restricting context to specific diseases. We included articles published from inception to December 2023.ResultsFollowing the inclusion criterion, 19 studies were selected for the review. The study has a cumulative sample size of 4,544 healthcare providers across India. We found that doctors and medical students have significant knowledge about AMR, followed by nurses and pharmacists. However, the attitudes toward AMR were higher among informal providers, followed by doctors and medical students. The study also observed a gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application of AMR principles among healthcare providers in India.ConclusionThe study highlights the need for targeted training and policy interventions to bridge the gap between KAP regarding AMR. Healthcare providers can significantly contribute to mitigating AMR threat by improving KAP related to AMR. This systematic review provides a foundation for developing and implementing effective evidence-based strategies to enhance AMR containment in India.
