The Quiet Crisis: Global Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) and the Failure of Policy to Contain the Superbug Threat 💡 Introduction: The End of the Antibiotic Age Antibiotics were hailed as one of the 20th century’s greatest medical miracles, transforming previously lethal infections (like pneumonia and sepsis) into treatable conditions. They are the bedrock upon which modern medicine—from cancer chemotherapy and complex surgeries to organ transplants—is built. However, we are rapidly nearing the end of the effective antibiotic age . Due to the pervasive misuse and overuse of these drugs in human health, animal husbandry, and agriculture, bacteria are evolving faster than we can develop new drugs. This phenomenon is called Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) . AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to medicines, making infections persistent and diseases spreadable.
