Portable DNA -Succession Device will help with the search for antibiotic resistance

New -Delhi, June 28 (IANS). According to a new study, portable DNA sequencing devices can help detect (neutralize medicine) to animals and antibiotics in the area. Effective and affordable measures will be taken to reduce antibiotic resistance to this device. Researchers from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the Ministry of Agriculture at Indonesia and Arizona State University, USA, together tested the device in six chickens in the greater Jakarta region in Indonesia. Scientists have taken samples from dirty water coming from the chickens and the surrounding rivers. Investigation revealed that E. Kolai bacteria in dirty water of the chickens, which are an indication of the medicine that is neutralized, reach the surrounding rivers. In many places, it has been seen that there is a large amount of E. Kolai is where dirty water is found in the river, making it clear that this problem can spread through the waste of animals. Researchers believe that this portable apparatus is able to detect antibiotic resistance locally and cheaply. This will help prevent the spread of resistant E. coli, which can cause diseases such as diarrhea in children, the elderly and poor immunity. “Some places like diarrhea may be deadly in some places.” Scientists have reported that the resistance to microbes against the anti -microbial resistance (AMR) is a major global threat. In 2021, this led to 47.1 lakh deaths, of which 11.4 lakhs were directly associated with AMR. It is estimated that by 2050 this figure can increase to 82.2 lakhs. This mobile succession technique can also be useful for monitoring fields, wet places and other pathogens such as bird flu. This research is published in the journal ‘Antibiotics’. -Ians mt/as part this story tags
