The theory of AMR

This slideshow provides a general introduction to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and will expand upon the following:

• the presence of the Enterobacteriales order (formerly Enterobacteriaceae family) in the human body
• how the Enterobacteriales order spreads in clinical settings
• the various types of antimicrobial resistance
• the changing forms of resistance and their potential reasons
• the current global outlook regarding the spread of AMR

The presentation focuses primarily on two specific types of enzymes produced by the bacteria: ESBL and carbapenemases.

Please note that this presentation is not a substitute for a comprehensive education in the field of AMR.
