Description:Antibiotics revolutionized healthcare worldwide, but their continued application and overuse have resulted in infectious microorganisms becoming resistant to treatment. Diseases that were once remediable are becoming increasingly difficult to manage as treatment options become more challenging and expensive. Antimicrobial resistance—which includes resistance among bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi—is a growing threat to the health of the public.
