Antimicrobial Resistance: Global Threat and Solutions

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) signifies a critical global health issue that erodes decades of treatment progress. Resistant microorganisms diminish the effectiveness of available treatments, leading to longer disease courses, higher fatality rates, and escalating healthcare expenditures. The phenomenon is driven by inappropriate antibiotic use in humans and animals, weak infection-control practices, and limited innovation in drug discovery.
Furthermore, the environmental dissemination of resistant genes through untreated waste and agricultural runoff creates a self-reinforcing cycle of resistance that transcends clinical settings. Addressing AMR requires coordinated international strategies that integrate a One Health paradigm linking environmental health, animal, and human, to ensure robust surveillance, stewardship, regulatory oversight, and investment in novel interventions. Raising public awareness, ensuring rational prescribing, and fostering cross-sectoral collaboration are essential to safeguard future generations. This review outlines the magnitude of the problem and explores sustainable approaches across healthcare, agriculture, and policy. Beyond primary infections, the rise of AMR threatens the safety of routine surgical procedures and cancer treatments, potentially transforming manageable medical interventions into high-risk endeavors.
