What is AMR and CMR?

AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance) refers to the ability of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, to resist the effects of medications that once effectively treated them, making infections harder to treat. CMR (Chemical, Mechanical, and Radiological) is often used in the context of risk assessments or safety protocols, referring to the potential hazards associated with these three categories of agents. While AMR is a significant public health concern, CMR typically pertains to safety and environmental issues.
