Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens is growing at a rapid pace. The problem of AMR has percolated to different sectors. The first and foremost task in the control of the AMR is providing the evidence for the type of AMR bacteria prevalent at the local level and ensuring that the data generated is amenable for global comparison. The local and global epidemiological depiction of the AMR pathogens is more accurate and appropriate with the use of molecular characterizing tools. Despite the fact that several molecular tools are used for characterizing AMR pathogens, there is a need for a one-stop research guide for the array of AMR pathogens prioritized by the World Health Organization. In this context, the present chapter provides insights on the molecular tools available for each AMR pathogen and selects the suitable tool for each purpose.
