Study finds Antibiotics for common childhood infections no longer effective in large parts of world

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 31 October 2023
A study led by the University of Sydney has found that antibiotics recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) are no longer effective in treating common infections in children due to high rates of antibiotic resistance. The study revealed that many antibiotics showed less than 50% efficiency in treating diseases like pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. The study analysed 6,648 bacterial isolates from 11 countries across 86 publications to review antibiotic susceptibility for common bacteria causing childhood infections.
