Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a global threat now, posing insurmountable challenge to clinicians and nursing personnel alike. Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus to hitherto effective antibiotics has been around for many decades now. Relatively recently, more microbial pathogens have started rendering antibiotics ineffective. They include Mycobacterium leprae against rifampicin, dapsone and ofloxacin, Enterococcus SPP. against vancomycin. Even resistant fungal species are not unheard of. One such example is Candida auris which does not respond to multiple antifungal agents. Healthcare givers need to take AMR very seriously now, both in the community and in hospital setting.
