Antimicrobial resistance: Happens when microorganisms (such

Antimicrobial resistance happens when microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) change when they are exposed to antimicrobial drugs (such as antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, antimalarials, and anthelmintics). A comprehensive review of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a global health threat driven by antibiotic misuse and overuse. Learn about the history, mechanisms, impacts, challenges, and solutions of AMR, and how artificial intelligence can help combat it. Antimicrobial resistance, also known as AMR, occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to medicines. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly bacterial AMR, has become a crucial global health threat, jeopardising the efficacy of treatment and prevention of infections.
