Antimicrobial resistance: (AMR) is projected to cause 10 million

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is projected to cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050 if left unaddressed, posing a severe threat to global health and modern medicine. This review analyzes the molecular and ecological mechanisms underlying ... Antimicrobial Resistance Antimicrobial resistance happens when microbes (like bacteria and fungi) are able to outsmart medications providers use to treat them. This can happen naturally or when certain medications are used a lot — germs can develop changes (mutations) that allow them to survive common drugs. It’s hard to treat infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant germs. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. There are different types of antimicrobials, which work against different types of microorganisms, such as antibacterials or antibiotics against bacteria, antivirals against viruses, antiparasitics against parasites, and antifungals against ...
