    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2024-08-19) Rovayo Ojeda, Erika Elizabeth; Vilcacundo Córdova, Mario Fernando
    Antimicrobial resistance is a serious health problem affecting the global population because medicines are becoming ineffective against pathogens. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused chaos in health systems, and in an effort to eradicate the virus, the inappropriate and unnecessary use of these medicines spread, worsening the problem. Although some progress was seen in the fight against antimicro b i al resistance at the beginning of the pandemic, the health emergency interrupted this advance. Health organizations recommend implementing systems to monitor and control the use of antibiotics, as it is essenti al to prevent the potential rise of the next pandemic, called "Antimicrobial Resistance." Despite these measur es, the results have been insufficient, with the development and strengthening of pathogens resistant to multipl e drugs being observed. This literature review has gathered information about the microorganisms that have shown higher levels of antimicrobial resistance during and after the pandemic, and the antimicrobials used for their treatment.
