Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical global health challenge that poses significant threats to<br \/>\npublic health, food security, and economic stability. AMR occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and<br \/>\nparasites develop resistance to antimicrobial agents, rendering treatments ineffective and leading to persistent infections,<br \/>\nhigher medical costs, and increased mortality rates. This crisis is exacerbated by factors such as the overuse and misuse of<br \/>\nantibiotics in healthcare and agriculture, insufficient regulation, inadequate infection control measures, and limited access to<br \/>\ndiagnostic tools. As AMR continues to evolve, its impact is felt worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries<br \/>\nwhere resources for combating this issue are often scarce. The growing burden of AMR underscores the urgency for global and<br \/>\nregional collaborations, integrated surveillance systems, and the implementation of effective antimicrobial stewardship<br \/>\nprograms to mitigate its impact.<br \/>\nPurpose of the review. This study aims to analyze AMR as a global threat, identify key factors driving its emergence and spread,<br \/>\nevaluate existing mitigation strategies, and propose practical recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of AMR<br \/>\nmanagement at regional and global levels.<br \/>\nMaterials and methods: A systematic analysis was conducted using open-access articles published within the last five years<br \/>\nfrom databases such as PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, eLibrary, and CyberLeninka. Included studies met evidence levels A<br \/>\nand B, comprising meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and cohort studies. Key areas of focus included epidemiological data,<br \/>\nresistance patterns, and intervention effectiveness.<br \/>\nResults: Between 1990 and 2021, AMR was responsible for over one million deaths globally each year, with significant<br \/>\nincreases in fatalities among individuals aged 70 and older. In 2021, bacterial AMR contributed to an estimated 4.71 million<br \/>\ndeaths globally, including 1.14 million directly attributable to AMR. Projections suggest AMR-related deaths could reach 10<br \/>\nmillion annually by 2050 if current trends continue. Factors such as unregulated antibiotic use, limited diagnostic resources,<br \/>\nand the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR), extensive drug resistance (XDR), and pan-resistance (PDR) exacerbate the crisis.<br \/>\nRegional disparities, particularly in Africa and Asia, emphasize the need for strengthened surveillance and regulatory<br \/>\nmeasures.<br \/>\nConclusion. AMR is a growing global crisis that demands urgent action. Implementing genomic tools for AMR monitoring and<br \/>\nadopting the &#171;One Health&#187; approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health, are essential to addressing<br \/>\nthis challenge. Strengthening regional monitoring, increasing public awareness, and fostering global collaborations are pivotal<br \/>\nfor sustainable AMR control. These measures are crucial to reducing mortality rates, optimizing healthcare outcomes, and<br \/>\nmitigating the socioeconomic impacts of AMR.<br \/>\nKeywords: Drug Resistance, Antimicrobial Drug Resistance, Anti-Bacterial Agents, Antimicrobial Agents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kcc_block\" title=\"\u0421\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0442\u044c\" onclick=\"document.location.href='https:\/\/journal.nncf.kz\/kz?download=1&#038;kccpid=1674&#038;kcccount=https:\/\/journal.nncf.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/13_\u041c\u0430\u0438u\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430-\u0428\u0422.pdf'\">\r\n\t<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/journal.nncf.kz\/wp-content\/plugins\/kama-clic-counter\/icons\/pdf.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"kcc_info_wrap\">\r\n\t\t<a class=\"kcc_link\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.nncf.kz\/kz?download=1&#038;kccpid=1674&#038;kcccount=https:\/\/journal.nncf.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/13_\u041c\u0430\u0438u\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430-\u0428\u0422.pdf\" title=\"13_\u041c\u0430\u0438u\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430-\u0428\u0422.pdf\">\u0421\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0442\u044c: ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE: A GLOBAL THREAT AND PATHWAYS TO SOLUTIONS<\/a>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"kcc_desc\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"kcc_info\">\u0421\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0430\u043d\u043e: 136, \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043c\u0435\u0440: 1.2 MB<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n\t.kcc_block{ position:relative; padding:1em 0 2em; transition:background-color 0.4s; cursor:pointer; }\r\n\t.kcc_block img{ float:left; width:2.1em; height:auto; margin:0; border:0px !important; box-shadow:none !important; }\r\n\t.kcc_block .kcc_info_wrap{ padding-left:1em; margin-left:2.1em; }\r\n\t.kcc_block a{ border-bottom:0; }\r\n\t.kcc_block a.kcc_link{ text-decoration:none; display:block; font-size:150%; line-height:1.2; }\r\n\t.kcc_block .kcc_desc{ color:#666; }\r\n\t.kcc_block .kcc_info{ font-size:80%; color:#aaa; }\r\n\t.kcc_block:hover a{ text-decoration:none !important; }\r\n\t.kcc_block .kcc-edit-link{ position:absolute; top:0; right:.2em; }\r\n\t.kcc_block:after{ content:\"\"; display:table; clear:both; }\r\n<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Received: 29.11.2024 Accepted: 14.12.2024 Published online: 30.12.2024 DOI 10.26212\/2227-1937.2025.18.39.013 \u0423\u0414\u041a 615.33 ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE: A GLOBAL THREAT AND PATHWAYS TO SOLUTIONS Sh.
