Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a complex and interconnected global challenge affecting human health, animal health, and the environment. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted dimensions of AMR and highlights the pivotal role of the One Health approach in addressing this pressing issue. The discussion emphasizes evidence-based strategies, integrated surveillance, and effective communication to inform decision-making and policy formulation. Furthermore, the economic implications of AMR and the need for a paradigm shift toward holistic One Health models are examined. The World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Action Plan and stakeholder engagement across various sectors are emphasized as critical components of AMR control. The review also delves into the importance of research and surveillance in understanding AMR drivers and developing alternatives to antibiotics. Promising approaches, such as microbiota modulation, gene editing, vaccines, antivirulence inhibitors, and bacteriophages, are explored as innovative means to combat AMR. Overall, this review underscores the urgency of a coordinated, multidisciplinary One Health approach in mitigating the global threat of AMR.
