Abstract

Antibiotic resistance (ABR) has arisen as a critical concern in contemporary
healthcare, significantly impacting patient outcomes, healthcare systems, and worldwide public
health. As bacteria develop resistance to widely utilized antibiotics, infections become
progressively challenging to manage, leading to prolonged hospitalizations, elevated treatment
expenses, and heightened morbidity and fatality rates. This study examines the effects of ABR on
healthcare outcomes, encompassing clinical, economic, and systemic difficulties it poses. The
paper emphasizes the significance of antimicrobial stewardship programs in alleviating these
consequences and offers recommendations for improving existing hospital policies and
procedures.
