on Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) develops when bacteria, fungi or viruses are exposed to antibiotics, antifungals or antivirals.

As a result, the antimicrobials become ineffective and infections may persist. In addition, medical interventions including surgery, chemotherapy and stem cell therapy may become impossible.

AMR is considered the biggest global threat of Health and Food Safety.
