Background: By compromising the effectiveness of life-saving therapies and driving up healthcare expenses, antibiotic resistance (AR) is a serious danger to global public health. Effective mitigation solutions are desperately needed, as the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared AR a high global health concern. As frontline healthcare professionals, nurses and pharmacists have distinct and complementary roles in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). Their capacity to have a collaborative impact is still untapped, though. Aim: this research is to analyze the multidisciplinary cooperation between pharmacy and nursing in tackling AR, emphasizing how well it works to improve patient outcomes, lower resistance rates, and strengthen AMS programs. The research highlights obstacles, investigates facilitators, and offers practical suggestions for incorporating these functions into a unified approach to counter AR. Methods: To better understand interdisciplinary approaches to AR management, a thematic assessment of peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines, and case studies was carried out. To find trends of cooperation, common difficulties, and proof of achievement, data were combined. Results: By optimizing antibiotic use, enhancing patient education, and guaranteeing adherence to infection control guidelines, interdisciplinary collaboration between nursing and pharmacy improves AMS
