Antimicrobial resistance 
  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms to persist and grow despite the administration of antimicrobials – the drugs designed to inhibit or kill them.
  • When microorganisms become highly resistant towards antimicrobials, standard treatments become ineffective and sometimes yield no desired outcome.
  • This leads to the failure of treatment and increased instances of illness and mortality in humans, animals and plants.
