Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and viruses no longer respond to medicines called antimicrobials that are used to treat infections. AMR is making infections harder to prevent and treat, leading to higher medical costs, serious illness and increasing numbers of deaths each year. According to the World Health Organisation, AMR is one of the top 10 health threats facing humanity.
