Therapeutic and Unconventional Strategies to Contrast Antimicrobial Resistance: A Literature Review
The fast emergence and spread of drug-resistant infectious pathogens and the resulting increase in associated and attributable deaths is a major health challenge globally. Misuse of antibiotics, insufficient infection prevention and control (IPC) in hospitals, food, animal feed, and environmental contamination due to drug-resistant microbes and genes have been the main drivers for antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
In recent times, the interest in fighting AMR has increased, and a number of preventive or therapeutic options have been explored. In this literature review, we discuss the scientific evidence and the limits of the main proven unconventional strategies to combat the AMR phenomenon in the human sector.
