| Summary: | The global burden of antimicrobial resistance is rising and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in clinical and community
setting. Spread of antibiotic resistance to different environmental niches and development of superbugs have further complicated the
effective control strategies. International, national and local approaches have been advised for control and prevention of antimicrobial
resistance. Rational use of antimicrobials, regulation on over-the-counter availability of antibiotics, improving hand hygiene and improving
infection prevention and control are the major recommended approaches. Thorough understanding of resistance mechanism and innovation
in new drugs and vaccines is the need. A multidisciplinary, collaborative, regulatory approach is demanded for combating antimicrobial
resistance. |
