Cover Story: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms to become increasingly resistant to an antimicrobial to which they were previously susceptible. Overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in both human and animal medicine has accelerated the process of the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. The AMR crisis among clinically important pathogens, together with the lack of therapeutic drugs, supports the idea that new strategies with novel mechanisms of action are needed. In this sense, metal-based drugs may be an important source of research. In this paper, the efficacy of gold(III) complexes as antibacterial and antibiofilm agents is studied against pathogenic bacteria of veterinary origin. View this paper
