Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a real problem across the world. In fact, it is fast emerging as a pandemic. Bacteria acquire resistance antibiotics by many mechanisms. However, AMR also exists in parasites and fungi. Strategic plans and concerted efforts are needed to counter the exceedingly high burden of AMR.
