ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health challenge of the twenty-first century, yet is rarely examined through the lens of justice and its potential to reflect and reproduce global disadvantage. Using India as a case study, we examine the intersections between AMR and social disadvantage, outlining key features of the problem. While AMR is a concern for all nations and citizens of the world, its impacts disproportionately affect the poor, and thus attention should be given to the mixed effects of the crisis over time, space and communities, and the need for a social justice model to combat AMR.
