Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance occurs naturally over time due to changes at the genetic level of microorganisms. These microorganisms are present in food, animals, plants, humans, and the environment. Many pathogens can spread from people to people or from animals to humans. Some of the major drivers of the development of antimicrobial resistance are misuse (overuse, inappropriate selection and/or dosing, etc.) of antimicrobial agents, poor infection and disease management, lack of access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene for the people, poor access to affordable and quality drugs and diagnostics, lack of awareness and knowledge about health care, etc.
