Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses one of the most severe threats to modern medicine, rendering life-saving antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs ineffective. This silent pandemic is fueled by the overuse and misuse of these critical medications in humans, animals, and agriculture. The consequences are dire, leading to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality. Addressing AMR requires a concerted One Health approach, integrating human, animal, and environmental health strategies, alongside global surveillance, robust stewardship programs, and accelerated research into novel antibiotics and alternative therapies.
