Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microbes, including bacteria, viruses, and some parasites, to resist the effects of drugs, meaning that the germs are not only not killed, but there their growth is not inhibited. For obvious reasons, infections with resistant organisms are difficult to treat, requiring costly and sometimes toxic alternatives. While some people are at increased risk, no single person can avoid the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections altogether. Since organisms will always find a way to adapt and resist antibiotics, there is a heightened need to keep new resistance from developing and to prevent the resistance that already exists from spreading.
