Nosocomial antibiotic strain resistance

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of a microorganism to acquire resistance to various antimicrobial drugs (antibiotics, antiviral drugs, antifungals and antiparasitic drugs). The greatest attention of the world public in the previous decades was on the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, and the forecast for the next decades that we will "wear out the existing antibiotics" and return to the pre-antibiotic era. Excessive use or abuse of antibiotics is associated with the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria, making treatment ineffective and posing a serious risk to public health. Only a multidisciplinary and intersectoral approach to this problem, primarily bringing antibiotic consumption under control in all branches of medicine and veterinary medicine, can prevent catastrophic consequences and preserve antibiotics for future generations.
