Antimicrobial Resistance: Devil for Mankind | Dr. Prashant Thakare & Dr. Niraj Ghanwate | TEDxMITAOE

This awesome scientist duo was awarded an Indian patent for their Rapid testing kit for Antimicrobial Resistance. In this informative talk, they discuss their inspiration behind this ground-breaking innovation. With their extensive experience and knowledge in their respective fields, they will be shedding light on antimicrobial resistance and how its steep increase in recent years may be alarming for all of humanity. Antibiotics, which are widely and most commonly used to treat bacterial diseases are slowly proving ineffective due to inappropriate diagnosis of bacteria. Many patients have delayed treatments due to long test procedures for accurate determination of the bacteria behind the diseases.

In their talk, they discuss their solution and urge society to use antibiotics judicially. Dr. Prashant and Dr. Niraj are astute and bright professors in the field of Microbiology and Biotechnology. They are patented innovators of a kit for the early detection of Antimicrobial Resistance. They have effectively reduced the time taken for testing the susceptibility of diseases by a whopping 70%. They are well versed researchers in the domain of antimicrobial resistance and rapid diagnostics for its early detection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
