Antimicrobial resistance is a generalized phenomenon that can affect people from any age or country. To date, there are no Peruvian bibliometric studies on antimicrobial resistance. This study was carried out to analyze and present bibliometric indicators related to Peruvian publications on antimicrobial resistance. Data collection was performed using the Scopus database. A total of 34 articles were retrieved. Peruvian publications on antimicrobial resistance increased considerably since 2015, reaching a record of 11 in 2017. Out of these, most of the documents were original articles and the most frequent language was English. Publications originated in different parts of the world, including North America, Europe and Latin America. Most of the retrieved articles were published in prestigious journals of biology, medicine and microbiology, and journals related to infection control.
