Abstract

Alex Markram*

The emergence of drug-resistant pathogens has become a significant global threat to public health and presents immense challenges to medical professionals and healthcare systems. The rapid evolution and dissemination of these resistant microorganisms have led to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs worldwide. This article explores the current state of drug-resistant pathogens, their impact on global health, and the diagnostic challenges faced in identifying and managing these infections. We discuss the key factors contributing to the development and spread of drug resistance and the urgent need for innovative diagnostic approaches to combat this growing menace. Keywords: drug resistance, pathogens, global threat, diagnostic challenges, healthcare.
