The entire world is facing the stiff challenge of COVID-19 pandemic. To overcome the spread of this highly infectious disease, several short-sighted strategies were adopted such as the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and antifungals. However, the misuse and/or overuse of antibiotics have accentuated the emergence of the next pandemic: antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It is believed that pathogens while transferring between humans and the environment carry virulence and antibiotic-resistant factors from varied species. It is presumed that all such genetic factors are quantifiable and predictable, a better understanding of which could be a limiting step for the progression of AMR. Herein, we have reviewed how genomics-based understanding of host–pathogen interactions during COVID-19 could reduce the non-judicial use of antibiotics and prevent the eruption of an AMR-based pandemic in future.
