        abstract = {Antimicrobial resistance [AMR]is global health problem with 1.27 million deaths in 2019 and trillions of dollars in potential economics losses by 2030, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious global health concern. The initiative is spearheaded by World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Action Plan (GAP), which advocates for a “One Health” approach that acknowledges the interdependence of environmental, animal and human health. Antimicrobial stewardship is essential, emphasizing, patient education, accurate diagnostic profiling, appropriate antibiotic prescription, and stringent hospital hygiene standards. Light based treatments like antimicrobial blue light, Photodynamic inactivation, and Cold atmospheric Plasma, as well as bacteriocin-natural, non-toxic antimicrobial peptides- are promising new research directions. These novel methods employ a multi- target mechanism that reduces resistance by harming the genetic material lipids, cells of bacteria, protein. To combat AMR, international cooperation is crucial. Global commitments are intended to be strengthen high-level ministerial conferences and consistent investment is essential to the creation an application of successful plans. Governments, healthcare systems, research organization, and the global general public must work together to guarantee that life- saving drugs continue to be effective for upcoming generation. We can lessen the effects of AMR and safeguard public health by fusing traditional tactics with creative fixes and international collaboration.},
