Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most serious problems requiring urgent solutions to protect public health, and has a negative impact on healthcare, veterinary medicine, and agricultural systems worldwide [6]. The increase in AMR may endanger the therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotics, increase treatment failures and lead to longer and more severe illness episodes with higher treatment costs and mortality rates. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already declared AMR a high-priority issue to be resolved by collective global action [8].
