Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Usage Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies solely focused on traditional antibiotic usage patterns without integrating newer approaches or technologies. - Single-Agent Antibiotic Efficacy Studies:
Research focusing exclusively on the efficacy of single antibiotics is waning as there is a growing emphasis on combination therapies and multi-drug approaches to combat resistance. - Basic Research on Antibiotic Mechanisms:
While still relevant, the focus on purely mechanistic studies of antibiotics is declining in favor of translational research that bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications. - Antibiotic Resistance in Non-Clinical Settings:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies addressing antibiotic resistance in non-clinical environments, such as community settings outside hospitals, as the focus shifts towards clinical implications and hospital-acquired infections.
