Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a formidable global health threat, undermining the effectiveness of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. The alarming rise in AMR is attributed to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, poor infection control practices, and inadequate surveillance. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current trends and challenges in AMR, highlighting its epidemiology, mechanisms, and impact on human health. The review reveals that AMR is a complex problem, with significant regional variations in resistance patterns. The emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), poses a significant threat to public health. The review also highlights the need for enhanced surveillance, improved infection control practices, and antimicrobial stewardship to combat AMR. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the importance of addressing the social and economic determinants of AMR, including poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and inadequate sanitation. The development of new antimicrobial agents and alternative therapies is also critical to addressing the growing threat of AMR. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the current trends and challenges in AMR, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach to address this growing global health threat.
