Abstract

Introduction: One concerning public health concern in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance is developed by inappropriate and over use of Antimicrobials which are made to kill infectious pathogens.
Inappropriate use of antibiotics without proper knowledge, prescribed by non-experts, not including proper diagnostic tests create challenges for treating serious infections. The antimicrobial resistance carries latent risks to individual as well as in the community.
