Antibiotic resistance
The global community is currently facing the escalating challenge of antibiotic resistance, which poses significant threats to human and animal health, food security, and global economic stability. Antibiotic resistance substantially complicates the treatment and prevention of infections, increases the risk of severe complications (particularly in vulnerable populations), leads to prolonged hospital stays, and raises overall healthcare costs. The high unmet need and urgency for action to address the burden of ABR is best articulated by the World Health Organization (WHO), which has declared ABR a global health emergency that will seriously jeopardize progress in modern medicine. The AMR crisis necessitates a coordinated, interdisciplinary approach to mitigate its far-reaching consequences.
