Abstract

Antibiotic Resistance (AR) is currently one of the biggest issues facing world health. AMR is a result of the abuse of antibiotics in the veterinary, healthcare, and agricultural fields. This involves improper prescription of antibiotics, overuse of antibiotics in the livestock industry, and inadequate sanitary practices in hospitals. Bacteria display a variety of defense strategies against antibiotics, and deciphering these defense mechanisms will be essential to resolving the current situation. It is possible to ascertain an isolate’s sensitivity or resistance to any therapy possibility using techniques based in laboratories for detecting antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance can be minimized by the correct application of antimicrobial agents, immunization, research, creation of novel antibiotics, legislation, regulations, surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, and antibiotic use.
