Antimicrobial resistance, the ability of (pathogenic) bacteria to withstand the action of
antibiotic drugs, has recently been rated of having an impact on humans similar to that of …

The speed at which bacteria develop antimicrobial resistance far outpace drug discovery
and development efforts resulting in untreatable infections. The World Health Organisation …
