MENDIETA CONDADO, E.R.  y  MARQUEZ AGUIRRE, A.L.. Superbugs and Genomic Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance. Revista bio ciencias [online]. 2022, vol.9, e1088.  Epub 12-Abr-2024. ISSN 2007-3380.  https://doi.org/10.15741/revbio.09.e1088.

After a century after the discovery of penicillin, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in human and animal health has favored the emergence and spread of microbial resistance, thereby generating "superbugs" capable of resisting antibiotics. In this article, the origin of antibiotics, the concepts of superbugs and the generation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), as well as the genomic analysis of antimicrobial resistance, as a new bioinformatics tool for its identification, will be addressed in a simple way.
