AMR - A Ticking Timebomb

Germs are everywhere - air we breathe, food we eat, soil, water, even in our body - there is no escape.

These are microscopic living organisms that can survive in extreme conditions. Many of these germs are harmless, in fact some are even good for health, and then there is an army of microorganisms that can cause infections, serious illness, and can even be fatal.

Primary prevention from these harmful germs is simple - the habit of washing hands. And in case of illness, antimicrobial chemicals are used as a standard treatment. These chemicals work well, but only for a short term, as microorganisms slowly become Antimicrobial Resistant.

What is AMR?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of a microorganism to not let an antimicrobial work against it. As a result, standard treatments become ineffective, infections persist and also cause deaths at times. (source- WHO)

Scientists around the world are warning about the world being at the edge of a 'post-antibiotic era', where resistance would spread everywhere and create untreatable infections.
