Anti-microbial Resistance
Antibiotics are arguably one of the greatest scientific discoveries in human history. Unfortunately, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics and other antimicrobials threatens to undo the progress made by this breakthrough. Below are some of the most recent, high-quality articles in the area of antimicrobial resistance:
