Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Bacteria

, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized as one of the major global health challenges and “ticking time bomb” of the 21st century. The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics hinders the efficiency of antibiotic use in the health care, and there is significant evidence to prove that the misuse of antibiotics will eventually result in the development ...
