Abstract

Multidrug-resistant microorganisms have become a pressing concern within the intensive care units (ICUs) of healthcare facilities worldwide. This article delves into the multifaceted problem of antimicrobial resistance in ICUs, where patients are most vulnerable, and explores strategies to mitigate this growing healthcare challenge. Drawing upon recent research and clinical experiences, the gravity of the situation is illuminated, emphasizing the importance of multifaceted interventions to combat the rise of multidrug resistance. This article underscores the need for a coordinated approach involving antibiotic stewardship, infection prevention, research and development, and public awareness to safeguard patient well-being and the future of intensive care.
