Abstract

Drug-resistant infections are a serious threat globally which demands cost-effective solutions to meet the unmet needs in their diagnosis and treatment. Gram-negative pathogens, drug-resistant tuberculosis, and multidrug-resistant Salmonella typhi have been reported as cause of resistant infections in developing countries. Here, we discuss the priority pathogens and conditions for which feasible solutions adaptable to low-resource settings are required to address the antimicrobial resistance in pathogens. These solutions will be helpful in containing the spread of antimicrobial resistance and better patient outcomes.
