Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is the ability of germs to resist the drugs designed to kill them. This is a serious global health threat, making it harder to treat common infections. AMR is a growing public health threat that occurs when germs like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites resist the effects of medicines designed to combat them. These medicines are called antimicrobials, and they include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics.When germs develop AMR, they become harder, and sometimes impossible, to treat.This can lead to:Longer illnesses, Increased healthcare costs, The spread of infections, Higher risk of death
