Abstract

Drug resistance, an escalating global health concern, involves the adaptive evolution of microorganisms to withstand the impact of medications, posing a substantial threat to public health. This article intricately examines the mechanisms driving drug resistance, incorporating the latest research findings to elucidate the implications for healthcare systems on a global scale. The study centers on bacterial and viral drug resistance, highlighting the concerning upsurge of resistance in pathogens associated with infectious diseases. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent studies, this article seeks to actively contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding strategies to combat drug resistance, aiming to foster the development of sustainable and effective solutions.
