Nov 21, 2023 · Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.
May 17, 2024 · Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi.
Apr 22, 2024 · Antimicrobial resistance accelerates when antibiotics and antifungals pressure bacteria and fungi to adapt. The antimicrobial-resistant germs survive, multiply and spread to other germs. These surviving germs have resistance traits in their DNA that can spread to other germs.
Antimicrobial Resistance: Causes and How It Spreads. AR can spread between people, animals, and the environment, and can cause deadly infections.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes evolve mechanisms that protect them from the effects of antimicrobials (drugs used to treat infections). All classes of microbes can evolve resistance where the drugs are no longer effective.
