AMR
AMR, or Antimicrobial resistance, occurs when a microbe, including bacteria, viruses, and some parasites, has adapted or evolved to the point when the effects of antibiotics no longer work to kill or fight off the organism. These drug-resistance organisms can cause infections that are difficult to treat and sometimes require toxic alternatives. Currently, there is an increased push to keep organism from developing a resistance, while keeping current drug-resistant organisms from spreading further.
