Abstract

Antimicrobial drug resistance is a pressing public health crisis that has arisen due to the misuse and overuse of antimicrobial drugs. The proliferation of drug-resistant microorganisms poses a significant threat to human health, as infections that were once manageable may become untreatable. This abstract provides an overview of antimicrobial drug resistance, its causes, and its far-reaching consequences on healthcare systems and global health. It emphasizes the urgent need for collective efforts from governments, healthcare providers, and the public to combat antimicrobial drug resistance and preserve the effectiveness of these vital medications.
