Abstract in brief

The systematic review found limited data on how armed conflicts contribute to the development and spread of antibiotic resistance, but the available studies indicate high rates of multidrug-resistant bacteria in conflict zones.
Studies from the 21st century, especially during conflicts like the Eastern Ukraine war, show increased prevalence of resistant bacteria, including specific resistant genes like NDM producers.
The review emphasizes the need for better infection control and antimicrobial stewardship in conflict-affected healthcare settings to prevent the further spread of resistant infections.
