چکیده

One of the most significant global health concerns is antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in community-acquired infections (CAIs), which affects more than just hospitals. It is causing damage to public spaces on a regular basis at the moment. This review provides a critical evaluation of the etiological framework of community-acquired infections (CAIs). In addition, it emphasizes the development of resistance mechanisms in frequently encountered pathogens and investigates discrepancies in the incidence of resistance across different regions. A great deal of attention has been directed toward the growing number of bacteria that exhibit resistance to multiple drugs. These bacteria are categorized into three groups: extensively drug-resistant (XDR), pandrug-resistant (PDR), and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. This level of attention is due to the impact these bacteria have on at-risk populations, public health systems, and the effectiveness of therapies. A comprehensive examination is performed of socioeconomic factors, which encompass agricultural methods, environmental degradation, the availability of over-the-counter medications, and the excessive use of antibiotics. We investigate national and international programs that are based on frameworks for One Health and strategic action plans, in addition to examining interventions at the community level and exploring new diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The purpose of this study is to provide a strategy that is both multi-sectoral and coordinated in nature, which aims to minimize antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and preserve the effectiveness of future antimicrobial therapies. The method that is being proposed involves a combination of surveillance, stewardship, education, and innovation.
