Antimicrobial Resistance (amr) Refers To The Ability Of Microorganisms
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of microorganisms—such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites—to withstand the effects of drugs that once killed them or inhibited their growth. The rise of AMR is one of the most critical public health challenges of the 21st century. In infectious disease genetics, the study of AMR profiling involves identifying genetic mutations and mechanisms that allow pathogens to resist treatment with antimicrobial agents.
