Abstract

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) observed when microorganism adapt and multiply in the presence of drugs to which they are exposed. Antibiotic resistance is a global health problem, with the current trend of inappropriate and overuse of antibiotics predicted to cause 10 million deaths by 2050. However, resistant bacteria are multiplying worldwide, infecting healthy people, animals, and human environment, affecting countries with low- and middle-income countries. Although the discovery of antibiotics has saved many lives in recent years, increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics threatens clinical and agricultural progress, and even treatable bacterial infections can be life-threatening. Strategies: In the present review we discuss the global burden of social and economic impact of antibiotic resistance, common mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, microbiological health and treatment resistance, patient attitudes, hospital and cancer outcomes. Summarize the impact of AMR. Potential strategies to overcome AMR such as Targeting antimicrobial-resistant enzymes, Targeting antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, Drug delivery systems, Physiochemical methods, Unconventional strategies. Conclusion: The devastating effect of antibiotic resistance is clear by way of the sudden boom inside the quantity of cases in which microorganism are immune to typically prescribed antibiotics in clinical practice. Although the superiority of bacterial resistance is growing, there is limited statistics at the impact of this hassle on the fitness and economic consequences of the clinical network.
