Abstract

The World Health Organization recognizes antimicrobial resistance as a real threat to global health systems, including it among the top ten problems that the human species struggles with, with around 700 thousand deaths each year. This global situation, complex in itself, was made more complex by the effects caused by the coronavirus, a phenomenon for which neither the population nor the health services were prepared.
