Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance or AMR in fungal species poses a significant risk to both the health of individuals and the environment. This has been seen as a slow-moving pandemic and as the severity of this issue continues to escalate, an increasing number of research has been conducted on the AMR. If not addressed, the shortage of effective antibiotics endangers everyday medical procedures and has the potential to cause millions of fatalities per year. Studies with antibiotics have been extensive; however, sparse literature is available when it comes to antifungal resistance. As Candida species continue to develop resistance to conventional drugs, it is of the utmost importance to conduct a comprehensive retracing of important research on this area that was published between the years 2015 and 2023. Current antifungal resistance research focuses on the mechanism through which these spreads. The research outputs have also highlighted the need to develop alternative therapy including synergism of phytochemicals derived from plants in combination with conventional drugs. This article examines the significant publications, authors, articles, nations, and keywords related to antifungal resistance in the context of AMR. This work also emphasizes the trends and advancements that have emerged because of these assessments during the past decade. The bibliometric analysis visualization was created using VOSViewer with publication data obtained from the SCOPUS database. The analysis will enhance comprehension of existing issues with antifungal resistance research data and assist new researchers in identifying prominent communities in this sector to gain essential insights. China, the United States, and India have the highest number of publications. The findings also indicated that the number of research that are associated with antifungal resistance is growing on an annual basis.'
