Bacterial cells are multiple times (at least 10 times) more abundant than human cells in our bodies. The majority of agents that cause sickness in human beings are viruses or bacteria. Microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract have around 10 trillion living beings, addressing every 1,000 species. Microbes produce nutrients, separate food into nutrients that can be absorbed, and boost our immune system. Infectious diseases are a main source of death around the world, notably in low-income countries, particularly in pediatric populations. Resistance to antibiotics is one of the very best challenges to public health today. There are numerous approaches to prevent drug-resistant infections. Immunization may be a prospering and efficient public strategy that saves millions of lives annually. This review aims to highlight the infectious conditions within the pediatric population and the antibiotic resistance in pediatrics.
