Antimicrobial therapy advancements in recent years have greatly enhanced the management of infections brought on by resistant microbes. The developmentBecause it makes illnesses more difficult to cure and raises death rates, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest dangers to world health. More resistant infections, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare expenses result from AMR's undermining of the effectiveness of antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals. Globally, improved stewardship procedures, new medication development, and increased surveillance are all necessary due to the growth of AMR.The discovery of novel medicines, cutting-edge drug delivery techniques, and tailored treatment strategies has created exciting new opportunities to fight antibiotic resistance.
