How can I rectify a string that begins and ends with a backtick, while ensuring that the contents of the evaluated expression also contain backticks?

JavaScript:
const abcd = `[@parent.[#(?object=activity::criteria=typeid=76273 AND tbl_1770949.valuestr="1"::orderby=tbl_1770943.valuestr ASC){"userid":"$txtUserid$","organisations":"$rdOrganisations$","oversightGroupRole":"$cmbOversightRole$","oversightGroupMemberName":"$txtOversightPrefix$ $txtOversightFirstName$ $txtOversightSurname$","oversightGroupType":"$cmbOversightGroupType$"},#]@]`;

//Please note the statment
[@parent.[#(?object=activity::criteria=typeid=76273 AND tbl_1770949.valuestr="1"::eek:rderby=tbl_1770943.valuestr ASC){"userid":"$txtUserid$","organisations":"$rdOrganisations$","oversightGroupRole":"$cmbOversightRole$","oversightGroupMemberName":"$txtOversightPrefix$ $txtOversightFirstName$ $txtOversightSurname$","oversightGroupType":"$cmbOversightGroupType$"},#]@]
evaluates the string in the format below-e.g

JavaScript:
[{
    "userid": "88664753",
    "organisations": "Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust*NIHR CRN Northwest Coast*University of Liverpool*",
    "oversightGroupRole": "Member",
    "oversightGroupMemberName": "Mr abcd",
    "oversightGroupType": "Steering Committee"
}, {
    "userid": "",
    "organisations": "University of Liverpool*",
    "oversightGroupRole": "Member",
    "oversightGroupMemberName": "Professor ccc",
    "oversightGroupType": "Steering Committee"
}, ]

My statement fails if any one the properties(userid,organisations etc) values contains backtik.
How can I fix that. How can I rectify an evaluated expression string that begins and ends with a backtick, while ensuring that the contents of the evaluated expression also contain backticks?

If you want to retain backticks in the text and just ensure they don't interfere with the enclosing backticks used for string delimiting, you would escape them. Escaping a character means prepending it with another character, usually a backslash (\), to signify that it should be treated as a literal character rather than having its usual special meaning.
JavaScript:
let newText = text.replace(/`/g,"\\`");
