Understanding the problem of Antimicrobial Resistance using interdisciplinary approaches                                           

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon where an organism becomes resistant to a given chemical and is therefore unaffected by treatment with that chemical agent. Although antibiotic resistance is a natural process, it has been enhanced by the human use of antibiotics. There is a significant concern and attention to the emergence of pathogenic strains resistant to these compounds. In recent days we focus on antibiotic resistance in the clinical environment and unnoticed the fact that this phenomenon may have taken place in the natural environment where the environment can also act as a reservoir of resistance. Holistic approach-involving human environments and natural environments are necessary to create lasting policy change to preserve antibiotics and understand antibiotic resistance. Read more
