Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires urgent action. AMR is a phenomenon in which microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites, become resistant to antimicrobial drugs such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antimalarials. As a result, these drugs become less effective in treating and preventing infection. This leads to an increase in cases of illness and death due to drug-resistant infections, as well as higher medical costs. AMR is a global problem and can have a huge impact on human health and economic development. To reduce the threat of AMR, it is important to use antibiotics responsibly, practice good hygiene and infection prevention, and develop new treatments and therapies.
