Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent global health threats, projected to cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050. The overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in human medicine, agriculture, and the environment drive AMR, undermining modern medicine. A Research Topic aims to advance understanding of AMR by integrating social and scientific perspectives. It welcomes contributions on novel antimicrobial development, resistance mechanisms, surveillance technologies, and diagnostic innovations, as well as social and policy dimensions. The collection seeks high-quality original research, reviews, and policy analyses to provide actionable insights for policymakers and clinicians. By fostering dialogue between social and scientific communities, it aims to support holistic strategies to tackle AMR at local, national, and global scales.
