Antimicrobial Resistance Control

Antimicrobial Resistance Control

Microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, are increasingly becoming resistant to the drugs we use to kill them (antimicrobials). This problem, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR), is a grave threat to human, animal and environmental health. In humans, AMR prolongs illnesses, increases the risks of death, facilitates transmission and increases treatment costs. In Africa, AMR is already a problem for malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and many other infectious diseases.
