AMR Mechanisms & Diagnostics

AMR Mechanisms & Diagnostics

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms evolve mechanisms to resist the drugs designed to kill them. Understanding these resistance mechanisms such as gene mutation, efflux pumps, and biofilm formation is essential for developing effective treatment strategies. AMR poses a growing global threat, making research and monitoring more important than ever.

Innovative diagnostics, including molecular assays and rapid point-of-care tests, play a crucial role in early detection. These tools help clinicians identify resistant pathogens quickly and choose appropriate therapies. Advancing diagnostic technologies supports global stewardship efforts and helps slow the spread of drug-resistant infections.
