Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing global problem. Urgent, collaborative action is needed to prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance and preserve effective treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Bacterial susceptibility to anti-infective agents has significantly changed over the past decade.
  • Antimicrobial resistance is a worldwide issue affecting both developed and developing countries.
  • Nearly all bacterial species can develop resistance, which can spread via transmissible elements like plasmids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the urgent need for measures to prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
  • To emphasize the multifaceted drivers of antibiotic resistance.
  • To underscore the necessity of collaboration among various stakeholders for effective solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current trends in bacterial susceptibility.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
