Increased antimicrobial use during COVID-19: the risk of advancing the threat of antimicrobial resistance

The repeated waves of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) across the world have resulted in major issues in different facets of life, especially in healthcare.

description The repeated waves of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) across the world have resulted in major issues in different facets of life, especially in healthcare. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as India, the effects of the pandemic have been devastating, driving communities, hospitals, and government into a crisis mode. There were a series of lockdowns and other pandemic-related restrictions since March 2020, which appeared to have curbed the infection rates in the first wave. However, since April 2021, the number of people infected and deaths associated with the second wave of COVID-19, specifically due to the delta variant, has been alarming. As a consequence, governments and scientific communities have been keen on finding an effective treatment for COVID-19.
