Abstract

The fast spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and lack of alternative antibiotics have been declared as a global public health emergency. The greatest impact of AMR could be seen in countries where the prevalence of multidrug-resistant pathogens is growing.
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a new tool has been shown as a very potential approach that is applicable for many kinds of genomic investigations. In term of AMR, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for molecular surveillance can be a valuable addition to phenotypic surveillance of AMR.
This approach provides insights into the genetic basis of resistance mechanisms, pathogen evolution and
population dynamics. So, its introduction in everyday practice could be extremely valuable tool for molecular surveillance of AMR.
