Antimicrobial resistance: Strategies for a global health threat
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat that poses a significant challenge to modern medicine. It occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, evolve and become resistant to the drugs that were once used to treat them. This phenomenon has made it increasingly difficult to prevent and control infectious diseases, resulting in longer hospital stays, higher healthcare costs, and increased morbidity and mortality rates worldwide.
