antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

Resistance that is either innate or has been acquired by a microbe (most often, a bacterium) to any compound that is designed to kill it or inhibit its growth. Several different mechanisms of AMR exist; the phrase is also used to describe any pathogen that is less susceptible than its counterparts to a specific antimicrobial compound.
