Abstract

The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is still a major threat to global health that is likely to worsen also as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, there is an urgent need to develop new compounds and novel alternative treatments. Furthermore, the new lines of action must consider the issue of antibiotics’ sustainability. Within this persrective, we have highlighted the main points on which actions in this perspective are possible.

Keywords: Antibiotics, Antibiotics management, Antibiotics removal, Antibiotics resistance, Green chemistry, Sustainability.
