Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi to remain unaffected by drugs meant to cure them. Antimicrobial resistance has become a major concern in both human and animal health as it makes it harder to effectively treat infections. Due to the overuse of antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance is increasing in many parts of the world. As a result, people are increasingly likely to contract dangerous, drug-resistant infections. To help stop the spread of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to limit the use of antibiotics and to practice good hygiene.
