Resistance Monitoring

Resistance monitoring is the process of regularly checking and evaluating how well a specific treatment—often in medicine or agriculture—is working against organisms like bacteria, pests, or weeds. Over time, these organisms can develop resistance to treatment, making it less effective. By monitoring resistance, scientists and health professionals can identify emerging resistance patterns, adapt their strategies, and ensure that treatments remain effective. This practice is essential for maintaining health and productivity, preventing the spread of resistant strains, and guiding the development of new and effective solutions.
