Antibiotic resistance, Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), Drug-resistant infectionsAbstract
Antibiotic resistance is a rising global health issue, with an estimated 1.27 million people worldwide dying of antibiotic-resistant infections. In this review article will be discussing what antibiotic resistance is, the ways we can prevent it, and how to combat it. It will discuss the biological factors that can cause bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance, such as natural selection, adaptation, and horizontal gene transfer. It will conclude by talking about the ways you can prevent this growing problem. Even though this is a huge problem worldwide, knowing more information about antibiotic resistance, like the ways we can combat it, can reduce this growing issue.
