Overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the capacity of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites—to withstand the drugs designed to inhibit or kill them, rendering standard treatments ineffective and increasing the risk of persistent infection, spread, and death. It arises through genetic mutation and the acquisition of resistance determinants, and is driven by the selective pressure of antimicrobial use and misuse in human and animal health, making prescribing practice, stewardship, and surveillance central to its containment. AMR is a recognized global health threat with a strong One Health dimension. Public Health International publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to antimicrobial resistance, including situational analyses of resistance in clinical settings, antimicrobial-resistance and biofilm formation in Salmonella Typhi, prescriber knowledge and attitudes toward antimicrobial stewardship, carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, antibiotic susceptibility of bacterial isolates, genotypic diversity of resistant pathogens, antibiotic-prescribing practices for respiratory infection, and resistance mechanisms in pathogenic Escherichia coli. This work spans the molecular mechanisms, epidemiology, and behavioral drivers of resistance across human and veterinary contexts, reflecting the field's emphasis on surveillance, rational antimicrobial use, and stewardship as essential responses to the growing burden of drug-resistant infection.
