AIIMS leads fight against superbugs

AIIMS leads fight against superbugs

Doctors at AIIMS in Delhi are working hard to fight superbugs, which are bacteria that can resist antibiotics.

These superbugs are becoming a big problem because they make infections harder to treat.

AIIMS is doing research to understand how these bacteria become resistant and to find better ways to diagnose and treat infections.

They are also working on new methods to stop the spread of these superbugs, like using special tests and new treatments.

One of their big successes is a new treatment for tuberculosis that works much faster than old ones.

The doctors say that to really stop superbugs, we need to use antibiotics carefully, clean hospitals well, and keep doing research.
