Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a critical global health threat, characterized by the ability of pathogens to resist the effects of medications that once effectively treated infections. This report examines the multifaceted causes of AMR, including the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in both human medicine and agriculture, as well as inadequate infection control measures and global travel. The consequences of AMR are profound, leading to increased mortality rates, higher healthcare costs, and challenges in performing surgical procedures. To combat AMR, it is essential to implement antimicrobial stewardship programs, raise public awareness, regulate antibiotic use in agriculture, invest in research and development, and strengthen global surveillance efforts. A coordinated, multifaceted approach is vital for mitigating the impact of AMR and ensuring the continued effectiveness of antimicrobial therapies for future generations
