- Antimicrobial resistance - World Health Organization (WHO)
Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change in ways that render the medications used to cure the infections they cause ineffective When the microorganisms become resistant to most antimicrobials they are often referred to as “superbugs” This is a major concern because a resistant infection may kill, can spread to others, and
- WHO publishes the WHO Medically Important Antimicrobials List for Human . . .
The list categorizes antimicrobial classes based on their importance for human medicine and according to the AMR risk and potential human health implications of their use in non-human sectors: critically important, highly important, and important to human medicine
- Antimicrobial resistance - World Health Organization (WHO)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines There are different types of antimicrobials, which work against different types of microorganisms, such as antibacterials or antibiotics against bacteria, antivirals against viruses, antiparasitics against parasites, and antifungals against

- Antimicrobial Resistance - World Health Organization (WHO)
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 Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials are the main drivers in the development of drug-resistant pathogens
- Antimicrobial resistance - World Health Organization (WHO)
What is antimicrobial resistance? Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microorganism (like bacteria, viruses, and some parasites) to stop an antimicrobial (such as antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials) from working against it As a result, standard treatments become ineffective, infections persist and may spread to others
