Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a significant global public health issue, driven by the rapid adaptation of microorganisms to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Colistin, previously regarded last-resort antibiotic for treating infections caused Gram-negative bacteria, is increasingly becoming resistant due chromosomal mutations and acquisition genes carried plasmids, particularly mcr genes. The mobile colistin gene (mcr-1) was first discovered in E. coli from China 2016. Since that time, studies have reported different variants ranging mcr-1 mcr-10, mainly Enterobacteriaceae various parts world, which major concern health. co-presence colistin-resistant with other determinants further complicates treatment strategies underscores urgent need enhanced surveillance antimicrobial stewardship efforts.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), frequently considered a major global public health threat, requires comprehensive understanding of its emergence, mechanisms, advances, and implications. AMR’s epidemiological landscape is characterized by widespread prevalence constantly evolving patterns, with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) creating new challenges every day. The most common mechanisms underlying AMR (i.e., genetic mutations, horizontal gene transfer, selective pressure) contribute to the emergence dissemination resistant strains. Therefore, mitigation strategies (e.g., antibiotic stewardship programs—ASPs—and infection prevention control strategies—IPCs) emphasize importance responsible antimicrobial use surveillance. A One Health approach interconnectedness human, animal, environmental health) highlights necessity for interdisciplinary collaboration holistic in combating AMR. Advancements novel therapeutics alternative agents vaccines) offer promising avenues addressing challenges. Policy interventions at international national levels also promote ASPs aiming regulate use.

The growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria within the human microbiome has become a pressing global health crisis. While antibiotics have revolutionized medicine by significantly reducing mortality and enabling advanced medical interventions, their misuse overuse led to emergence resistant bacterial strains. Key resistance mechanisms include genetic mutations, horizontal gene transfer, biofilm formation, with microbiota acting as reservoir for antibiotic genes (ARGs). Industrialization environmental factors exacerbated this issue, contributing rise in infections multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, such methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. These pathogens compromise effectiveness essential treatments like surgical prophylaxis chemotherapy, increase healthcare costs, prolong hospital stays. This crisis highlights need One-Health approach, particularly regions weak regulatory frameworks. Innovative strategies, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, offer promising avenues mitigating resistance. Addressing challenge requires coordinated efforts, encompassing research, policymaking, public education, stewardship, safeguard current foster development new therapeutic solutions.
