Abstract: The level of antimicrobial resistance in the world is increasing with an exponential burden on the global healthcare system. Quality of life is reduced due to the ineffectiveness of antimicrobials used in the treatment of infection and this called for the development of various apparatuses in fighting the menace to achieve one health. Among the several methods used to mitigate the development of resistance is the metagenomics study. This bioinformatics technique makes use of Isolated DNA or free existing DNA in an environment to detect possible genes responsible for a particular resistance and get an insight into ways to develop solutions.
