Bacteriophages as potential treatment option for antibiotic resistant bacteria - Ritobeeti Chatterjee [sem 3 zoology] An increasing number of pathogenic organisms growing resistance to the available antimicrobial drugs has caused Anti Microbial Resistance (AMR) to be classified as a rising global health concern. AMR is a classic example of random mutation and natural selection as the microorganisms grow resistance to and persist in the presence of medication meant to inhibit the growth of or kill said microorganisms. Antibiotic resistance is a major subfield of study under Anti Microbial Resistance (AMR) , which refers to the resistance shown by bacteria to antibiotics . Antbiotic resistace has een the direct cause of 1.27 million global deaths in 2019 and has contri buted to 4.95 million deaths . Resistance in bacteria might ar...
