The Role of COVID-19 on Antibiotics Resistance: a Review-based Study
Summary
This review examines the role of COVID-19 in accelerating antibiotic resistance, discussing how overuse of antibiotics during the pandemic increased selective pressure on bacteria. The authors review mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to secondary bacterial infections requiring antibiotic treatment. Antibiotic resistance is environmentally relevant because resistant genes are often co-located with microplastics in aquatic environments.
In this study, research is conducted with an aim to recognize the role played by the pandemic of Covid-19 in the resistance of antibacterial or antibiotics. Antibiotics resistance tends to happen when the bacteria or some certain microbes evolve from the instruments or mechanismsthat provide protection to them against the influences of the antibiotics. As study provides understandings that infection of Covid-19 is caused by a virus SARS-CoV-2. The objective ofthe study explores the influences of antibiotics on infection caused by this virus and how this virus causes resistance in the use of antibiotics.

COVID-19 and antimicrobial resistance: A cross-study
This review explores how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated antimicrobial resistance through increased antibiotic use, widespread disinfectant application, and massive volumes of plastic personal protective equipment waste. Researchers found that pandemic-related microplastic pollution creates additional surfaces for resistant bacteria to colonize and exchange resistance genes. The study highlights the intersection of pandemic waste management and the global antibiotic resistance crisis.
COVID-19 pandemic and antimicrobial resistance in developing countries
This review examined how the COVID-19 pandemic increased antimicrobial drug use and resistance in developing countries, highlighting that improper waste disposal, hospital effluents, and microplastics acting as vectors for antibiotic-resistant organisms compound resistance risks in lower-income settings that already lack diagnostic capacity and infection control infrastructure.
The Microplastic-Antibiotic Resistance Connection
This review examined the link between microplastic pollution and antibiotic resistance, finding that microplastic surfaces in the environment selectively enrich antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes, creating hotspots that may amplify the spread of resistance far beyond clinical settings.
How microplastics and nanoplastics shape antibiotic resistance?
This review examines how micro- and nanoplastics act as vectors for antibiotic resistance genes, facilitating their spread through environmental and biological systems by creating selective pressure and hosting microbial communities that exchange resistance determinants.
A review on the effect of micro- and nano-plastics pollution on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance
This review highlights how microplastics serve as breeding grounds for antimicrobial resistance genes, examining the overlooked interaction between plastic pollution and antibiotic resistance that poses combined threats to environmental and human health.
