Abstract
The emergence and rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threaten global public health. AMR is promoted by many factors, including inadequate infection prevention and control, a lack of sanitation, failing waste management systems, limited access to vaccines, diagnostics, and quality and affordable medicines, and a lack of awareness and knowledge regarding AMR and its burdens. AMR countermeasures include minimization of the risk of AMR development through the rational use of antibacterial drugs. Significant critical gaps include fast AMR tracking, new drug research and development, and simple and rapid diagnostic tests to detect AMR microorganisms. Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) is a potential approach for early warning and sentinel surveillance of AMR. Promising sources of antimicrobial agents include marine microbes and shark-derived nanobodies from shark-farming systems.
Keywords: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), Antimicrobial Stewardship, Research and Development
