AMR makes it more complex to treat infections caused by microorganisms, therefore increasing mortality and morbidity rate in a society.

However, if we work together and spread the awareness about AMR, we can be sure to put up a good fight against AMR collectively.

The decline in new antibiotic development remains one of the major challenges we are facing in the fight against AMR.

This leaves healthcare providers with fewer treatment options, therefore aiding the spread of resistant bacteria in our society.

Antibiotic use in agriculture: a double-edged sword.

While Farmers often utilize antibiotics to promote growth and prevent diseases in livestock, this also fuels the spread of resistant bacteria, therefore endangering food systems, and farmers' livelihoods.

In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered that a fungus, Penicillium notatum, had contaminated his work and made bacteria-free zones on the culture plate.

He found this mould effective even at very low concentrations.

This discovery began the golden age of antibiotics.
