The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global antimicrobial and biocide resistance : an AMR Insights global perspective
The COVID-19 pandemic presents a serious public health challenge in all countries. However, repercussions of
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections on future global health
are still being investigated, including the pandemic’s potential effect on the emergence and spread of global
antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Critically ill COVID-19 patients may develop severe complications, which may
predispose patients to infection with nosocomial bacterial and/or fungal pathogens, requiring the extensive
use of antibiotics. However, antibiotics may also be inappropriately used in milder cases of COVID-19
infection. Further, concerns such as increased biocide use, antimicrobial stewardship/infection control, AMR
awareness, the need for diagnostics (including rapid and point-of-care diagnostics) and the usefulness of
vaccination could all be components shaping the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this publication, the
authors present a brief overview of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated issues that could influence
the pandemic’s effect on global AMR.This study was supported by internal funding.https://academic.oup.com/jacamram2022School of Health Systems and Public Health (SHSPH
Role of Diet and Nutrients in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Incidence on Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Status and Viral Production
Coronavirus illness (COVID-19) is an infectious pathology generated by intense severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This infectious disease has emerged in 2019. The COVID-19-associated pandemic has considerably affected the way of life and the economy in the world. It is consequently crucial to find solutions allowing remedying or alleviating the effects of this infectious disease. Natural products have been in perpetual application from immemorial time given that they are attested to be efficient towards several illnesses without major side effects. Various studies have shown that plant extracts or purified molecules have a promising inhibiting impact towards coronavirus. In addition, it is substantial to understand the characteristics, susceptibility and impact of diet on patients infected with COVID-19. In this review, we recapitulate the influence of extracts or pure molecules from medicinal plants on COVID-19. We approach the possibilities of plant treatment/co-treatment and feeding applied to COVID-19. We also show coronavirus susceptibility and complications associated with nutrient deficiencies and then discuss the major food groups efficient on COVID-19 pathogenesis. Then, we covered emerging technologies using plant-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. We conclude by giving nutrient and plants curative therapy recommendations which are of potential interest in the COVID-19 infection and could pave the way for pharmacological treatments or co-treatments of COVID-19
