Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the reduced number of new antibiotic
discoveries impose a major threat to the quality of human life and effective
treatment options. Antibiotic resistant infections require prolonged hospital stays
and treatment periods, that depend on more expensive regimens. The lack of
knowledge and negative attitude among the public about antibiotics and antibiotic
resistance has led to inappropriate antibiotic use.
