Antimicrobial resistance in the environment: The Indian scenario
Open accessAbstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to pose a significant public health problem in terms of mortality and economic loss. Health authorities of several countries including India have formulated action plans for its containment. In this fight against AMR, it is important to realize the contribution by all the following four spheres: humans, animals, food and environment. This review incorporates all the spheres of One Health concept from the Indian perspective. India has one of the highest rates of resistance to antimicrobial agents used both in humans and food animals. The environment, especially the water bodies, have also reported the presence of resistant organisms or their genes. Specific socio-economic and cultural factors prevalent in India make the containment of resistance more challenging. Injudicious use of antimicrobials and inadequate treatment of waste waters are important drivers of AMR in India. Use of sludge in agriculture, improper discard of livestock animals and aquaculture industry are considered AMR contributors in other countries but Indian data regarding these are lacking. Efforts to combat AMR have been initiated by the Indian health authorities but are still at preliminary stages. Keeping in view the challenges unique to India, future directions are proposed.

The involvement of MDR organisms in meat contamination could exacerbate the already severe problem of AMR, which is projected to cause 10 million deaths annually, amidst other adverse impacts.
“The involvement of MDR organisms in meat contamination could exacerbate the already severe problem of AMR, which is projected to cause 10 million deaths annually, amidst other adverse impacts [81].”
From A Systematic Review on Antimicrobial Resistance in Ghana from a One Health Perspective (2024) · cites this paper as [81]
The Introduction projects 10 million AMR deaths by 2050 and describes economic and livestock impacts, but it does not explicitly say the projected 10 million deaths are annual. The sections on reported AMR and its drivers describe resistant organisms in broilers and antibiotic residues in chicken meat, supporting the concern about food animals without specifically establishing MDR-organism contamination of meat.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
