ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe and growing threat to global public health, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where inadequate infrastructure, irrational antibiotic use, and weak diagnostic systems persist. This mini-review examines recent developments in AMR surveillance systems and highlights key gaps in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, China, and selected high-income nations. Surveillance initiatives like CAPTURA, IEDCR in Bangladesh, CHINET and CARSS in China, and Europe’s sexual health clinic......
