Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is resistance of a microorganism to an antimicrobial that was originally effective for treatment of infections caused by it. Increasing clinical incidence of antimicrobial resistance is a major global health care issue and the situation is perhaps aggravated in developing co...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes have been suggested to originate from environmental bacteria, as clinically relevant resistance genes have been detected on the chromosome of environmental bacteria. As only a few new antimicrobials have been developed in the last decade, the further evolution of ...
González1 and Sabine Dittrich1 Open Access Abstract Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widely acknowledged as a global problem, yet in many parts of the world its magnitude is still not well understood. This review, using a public health focused approach, aimed to understand and ...
Antimicrobial resistance is an important concern for the public health authorities at global level. However, in developing countries like India, recent hospital and some community based data showed increase in burden of antimicrobial resistance. Research related to antimicrobial use, determinants and develo...

Growing data suggest that antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections are common in low- and middle-income countries. This review summarises the microbiology of key bacterial syndromes encountered in West Africa and estimates the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that could compromise first-line...
Antimicrobial drugs play a critical role in improving public health and ensure an ability to effectively respond to a mass public health emergency. However, although bacteria which cause disease can be treated with antibiotics, the natural adaptation process of bacteria (Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR))...
Indiscriminate and irrational use of antibiotics has created an unprecedented challenge for human civilization due to microbe's development of antimicrobial resistance. It is difficult to treat bacterial infection due to bacteria's ability to develop resistance against antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial agent...
In this Review, Holmes and colleagues explore the mechanisms by which healthcare functions as a driver, reservoir and amplifier of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and they explore opportunities and innovative solutions to mitigate healthcare-associated AMR and promote healthcare resilience.
