Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity, especially in low-resource settings, and requires an interdisciplinary response across academia, government, countries, and societies. If unchecked, AMR will hamper progress towards reaching the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including ending poverty and hunger, promoting healthy lives and well-being, and achieving sustained economic growth. There are many global initiatives to curb the effects of AMR, but significant gaps remain. New ways of thinking and operating in the context of the SDGs are essential to making progress. In this entry, we define the next generation of the AMR research network, its composition, and strategic activities that can help mitigate the threats due to AMR at the local, regional, and global levels. This is supported by a review of recent literature and bibliometric and network analyses to examine the current and future state of AMR research networks for global health and sustainable development.

Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) happens when microorganisms no longer respond to antimicrobials to treat them
Many multi-institutional scientific networks are already contributing to the fight against AMR, as evidenced by available literature and bibliometric analysis. Sustaining these networks will be very important as we develop the AMR NTN
This convergence can only happen with intentional professional development training, research exchanges, and knowledge-sharing activities that build capacity in the global workforce to address the challenge of AMR
Summary
Encyclopedia 2021, 1 identified this as an ‘implementation gap’ [3]. Addressing AMR as a global public health and development challenge requires holistic, multi-sectoral, and multi-disciplinary approaches across academic institutions, government sectors, and society [1]. Sustained collaborations are needed to curb current and future AMR challenges and not to place SDGs at risk. In this entry, we review AMR, define its drivers, and present its impact on SDGs. We describe current global collaborative efforts on mitigating AMR and corroborate this review with bibliometric and network analyses. Strategic areas, and phase-gate milestones that countries, institutions, and networks of AMR experts need to invest in to mitigate the effects of AMR as a globally multifaceted phenomenon
