    Antibiotic Resistance

    Antibiotic Resistance: (AMR or AR) is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication that once could successfully treat the microbe. The main term antibiotic resistance (AR or ABR) is a subset of AMR, as it applies only to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.
