ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE — A GLOBAL THREAT IN MODERN MEDICINE

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex biological process characterized by microorganisms adapting to the effects of antimicrobial drugs and consequently losing their sensitivity to them. Today, AMR is one of the most pressing challenges facing the global healthcare system, as it severely limits the effectiveness of treatment for infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), if appropriate measures are not taken, antibiotic-resistant infections may become one of the leading causes of death in the future.
