Abstract

This is a worldwide, major issue in public health due to the clinical cost and strategic effects on public health practice. The focus of this research will be based on the laboratory analysis on molecular epidemiology in antimicrobial resistance cases in Saudi Arabia. Most prominent patterns and mechanisms were seen and explained along with the contributing factors of such resistance patterns. Major Findings Inappropriate use of antibiotics Development of multi-drug resistance organisms and effects of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae on health care settings. The use of advanced molecular techniques such as whole genome sequencing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing to monitor resistance mechanisms will inform public health interventions. Control of antimicrobial resistance relies on surveillance systems, antimicrobial stewardship programs, and public awareness campaigns. Future work will take the form of increasing the scope of research on mechanisms of resistance, further strengthening one-health approaches and international cooperation to be better placed to reduce AMR burden in Saudi Arabia.
