– Many antibiotics no longer work. – Reliance on broad-spectrum drugs worsens resistance. – Few alternatives available in severe cases.
- Chronic wounds stay inflamed.
- Resistant bacteria slow tissue repair.
- Higher risk of sepsis, amputation, or death.
– Results take too long.
– Biofilms shield bacteria from detection.
– Hard to identify the true pathogen.
- Expensive therapies required.
- Prolonged hospital stays add costs.
- Heavy demand on wound care teams.
- Success needs surgeons, microbiologists, and nurses.
- Coordinated strategies reduce AMR risk.
