Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a critical global health challenge. However, the significance of AMR is not limited to humans and domestic animals but extends to wildlife and the environment. Based on the analysis of more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, this review provides comprehensive and current insights into the detection of clinically significant antimicrobial resistant bacteria and resistance genes in wild mammals, birds and reptiles worldwide. The review also examines the overlooked roles of wildlife in AMR emergence and transmission. In wildlife, AMR is potentially driven by anthropogenic activity, agricultural and environmental factors, as well as natural evolution. This review highlights the significance of AMR surveillance in wildlife, identifies species and geographic foci and gaps, and finally demonstrates the value of multifaceted One Health strategies if we are to curtail further escalation of AMR globally.
