MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS

Description

The emergence of resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents in pathogenic bacteria has become a significant public health threat as there are fewer, or even sometimes no, effective antimicrobial agents available for infections caused by these bacteria. Antibiotics are among the most important discoveries of the 20th century, having saved millions of lives from infectious diseases. Microbes have developed acquired antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to many drugs due to high selection pressure from the increasing use and misuse of antibiotics over the years. The transmission and acquisition of AMR occur primarily via a human–to–human interface both within and outside of healthcare facilities.
