Antimicrobial resistance: A multifaceted problem with multipronged solutions

Teresa Gil-Gil et al. Microbiologyopen. 2019 Nov.

Abstract

Infectious diseases still stand as a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and this problem can be worsened with the current antimicrobial resistance crisis. To tackle this crisis more studies analyzing the causes, routes, and reservoirs where antimicrobial resistance can emerge and expand, together with new antimicrobials and strategies for fighting antimicrobial resistance are needed. In the current special issue of MicrobiologyOpen, a set of articles dealing with the multiple faces of antimicrobial resistance are presented. These articles provide new information for understanding and addressing this problem.

Keywords: Global Health; Infectious diseases; One Health; antibiotic resistance.
