Abstract: The problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become particularly relevant in countries with developed healthcare systems and intensive agriculture over the past 20 years. According to the UN General Assembly on September 22, 2022, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is already a global problem, causing almost 5 million deaths per year, and by 2050 the annual number of additional deaths worldwide could increase to 10 million persons per year. Currently, to counter the spread of AMR in the world, a partnership of 4 world organizations (WHO, OIE, FAO and UNEP) has been created, leaving the basis for the global concept of “One Health”, which is an integrated, unifying approach aimed at Sustainably balancing and optimizing the health of people, animals and ecosystems. In order to protect the population, the Government of the Russian Federation adopted the “Strategy for preventing the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the Russian Federation for the period until 2030”. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria worldwide. On the one hand, restrictions and preventive measures introduced in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, such as reduced travel, distancing, hand hygiene, and environmental treatment, help reduce the spread of infections; on the other hand, the use of antibiotics in patients with COVID-19 is not always justified has exacerbated the public health threat posed by AMR, and as the pandemic progresses throughout the world, the importance of resistance has increased significantly. The resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs requires improving measures to prevent and limit the spread and circulation of pathogens with antimicrobial resistance, ensuring systemic monitoring of the spread of antimicrobial resistance, and studying the mechanisms of the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.
