The Rise of Antimicrobial Resistance: A Public Health Crisis

Omotosho Ajibola Adunola

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Public Health

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating worldwide health issue that affects our capacity to successfully treat bacterial infections (Wright, 2020). The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recognised AMR as one of the foremost global health hazards facing humanity, carrying the potential for catastrophic repercussions (WHO, 2020). Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) arises when bacteria acquire traits or methods to circumvent the impact of antimicrobial medicines, including antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals (CDC, 2020).
