The antimicrobial resistance crisis is one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and societal development. Even though the development of antimicrobial resistance is a natural process in microbes that have been happening since ancient times, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in health care are one of the main drivers in propelling the rapid development of the resistance crisis.
As such, it is timely to identify challenges faced by stakeholders and reveal opportunities for collaboration across institutions and sectors. Moving forward, we need to ensure that antibiotics are still effective and that antibiotic stewardship initiatives are an integral component of dental education programs.
