Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern, driven by the overuse of antibiotics and a lack of new drug development.

We rethink the prevailing ethics of competition and competitiveness in the field by demonstrating its limitations for contributing positively to urban sustainable development. An ethics of vulnerability approach is outlined based on principles of performativity, interdependenc
