Reduction in antimicrobial resistance by the way of extensive vaccination.

In recent years, antibiotic-resistant bacteria emerged as a great problem leading to treatment failures and an increase in the cost of healthcare. There is a growing belief in the use of vaccines to reduce the antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The vaccination could prevent the possibilities of infection that are known to induce AMR, which further reduces its treatment by antibiotics and the risk of its poor outcomes. It is possible to reduce the microbial population upon vaccination, which will theoretically reduce the chances for exchange of genetic elements responsible for resistance. The international collaborations among health workers and researchers are required to build surveillance and control strategy to combat antibiotic resistance. Priorities should be given towards the development of rapid diagnostics and characterization of resistant bacterial strains by basic and applied research.
