What Role Do Antimicrobial Resistance and Superbugs Play?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health threat where bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites become resistant to medications, making infections harder to treat. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in humans and livestock contribute to this problem. Superbugs, which are resistant to multiple drugs, pose a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide, leading to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality.
