Global antimicrobial resistance threat
Overview
Experts are warning of the escalating threat posed by antimicrobial resistance, describing it as a ‘silent pandemic’ that undermines modern medical achievements. At a symposium in Seoul, Rino Rappuoli noted that bacteria are evolving to resist existing drugs, necessitating a response that includes increased investment in research, vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies to reduce the need for antibiotics.
Clinical perspectives highlight that the crisis is not only about drug discovery but also the speed of treatment delivery. Dr. Tuğba Kızılok Erdoğan warned that resistant microorganisms complicate critical procedures such as organ transplants, chemotherapy, and surgical interventions.
There is a growing concern that the rate of resistance is outpacing the development of new antibiotics. To mitigate this, experts suggest that the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics must be managed to avoid disrupting microbiome balance, and that clinical settings should integrate rapid molecular diagnostic systems to improve the timing of interventions.
