Overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites to survive exposure to antimicrobial drugs that would normally kill them or stop their growth, rendering standard treatments ineffective. It arises and spreads through natural genetic mutation and the selective pressure created by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in human medicine, agriculture, and animal husbandry. AMR is recognized as a major global public-health threat because it makes common infections harder to treat, prolongs illness, increases mortality, and raises healthcare costs. Bacteria of particular concern include drug-resistant and carbapenem-resistant strains such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella Typhi. Containment strategies center on antimicrobial stewardship, rational prescribing, infection prevention, surveillance, and the search for new antimicrobial agents. Consistent with its scope, this journal publishes research on antimicrobial resistance and stewardship, including situational analyses of resistance in specific health districts, susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates, carbapenem resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae, resistance and biofilm formation in Salmonella Typhi from typhoid cases and carriers, prescriber knowledge and attitudes toward stewardship, antibiotic prescribing practices for respiratory infections, self-medication and drug-storage practices, and the proposed role of malaria in driving the spread of antibiotic resistance.
