Foreword

Antimicrobials are an essential part of modern life. Yet, the more we use them inappropriately, the more the microbial world adapts. There is strong evidence that bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi are becoming resistant to antimicrobials. Infections in humans, animals and plants are becoming difficult, sometimes impossible, to treat. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has therefore emerged as a principal public health problem.

Sustainable Development Goals:
