The difference between AMR & MDR



AMR commonly refers to "Antimicrobial Resistance," which is the ability of microorganisms to resist the effects of antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics. On the other hand, MDR stands for "Multidrug Resistance," specifically describing resistance to multiple classes of antimicrobial drugs. In essence, while AMR is a broader term encompassing resistance to any antimicrobial substance, MDR is a subset of that, indicating resistance to more than one type of antimicrobial drug.
