Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious global health threats of our time. It causes huge obstacles in controlling infectious diseases. The world health organization explains the major problem is that it creates bacteria with high rates of resistance that can’t be fought easily to overcome common infections. Antimicrobial abuse has resulted in rapid emergence of AMR. It has become progressively serious as certain microbes have reached at a verge of no reasonable antimicrobial which brings about them not having the option to be dealt with. This shows the importance of further research required in the field of antimicrobial resistance as it poses a threat to global health.
