Antibiotics for common childhood infections no longer effective in many parts of world: Lancet study

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 31 October 2023
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney has found that drugs used to treat common infections in children and babies are becoming increasingly ineffective due to antibiotic resistance. The study revealed that many antibiotics recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) have less than 50% effectiveness in treating childhood infections such as pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. The study emphasizes the urgent need for updated global antibiotic guidelines to reflect the rapidly evolving rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
