Overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites to survive exposure to the drugs designed to kill or inhibit them, making infections harder or sometimes impossible to treat. It is widely recognized as one of the most pressing global public health threats, driving longer illnesses, higher mortality, and rising healthcare costs. Resistance arises through natural selection and genetic change, and is accelerated by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in human medicine, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Resistant organisms can spread between people, animals, and the environment, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens, including carbapenem-resistant bacteria, has narrowed the available treatment options. Containing AMR depends on surveillance of resistance patterns, prudent prescribing through antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention, and the development of new agents and diagnostics. Research published under this topic addresses many of these dimensions, including antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation in Salmonella Typhi, situational analyses of resistance in specific health districts, increasing carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, genotypic diversity of pathogens in vulnerable populations, knowledge and practices around antimicrobial stewardship, self-medication and drug storage practices, antibiotic prescribing for respiratory infections, and detection of resistance mechanisms in bacteria of animal origin, reflecting both clinical and One Health perspectives.
