ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE PROBLEM AND ITS PREVENTION

Antibiotic resistance (AMR) represents a critical global public health challenge, threatening the efficacy of modern medicine. This phenomenon, primarily driven by the misuse and overuse of antimicrobial agents, leads to treatment failures, prolonged illnesses, and increased mortality rates. Addressing AMR requires a multifaceted approach encompassing improved surveillance, stringent infection prevention and control measures, and the development of new therapeutic options. Furthermore, robust antimicrobial stewardship programs are essential to optimize antibiotic use and preserve their effectiveness for future generations. Effective prevention strategies are paramount to mitigate the escalating threat of drug-resistant infections worldwide.
