Infectious Diseases 2027
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a growing global health challenge in which bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites develop resistance to medications designed to eliminate them. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs have accelerated the emergence of resistant microorganisms, making common infections harder to treat. AMR threatens modern healthcare by increasing the risk of prolonged illness, hospitalizations, and mortality. Strengthening infection prevention, promoting responsible antimicrobial use, and advancing research are essential to controlling the spread of resistant pathogens worldwide.
