New Antibiotics for Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Strains: Latest Research Developments and Future Perspectives

Antibiotics are crown to the modern medicine, and they are the weapon against numerous infectious diseases. The exposure of bacteria to ‘non-lethal levels’ of antibiotics is causing antibiotic resistance (ABR) in them. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the most common type of resistance. The MDR refers to bacteria showing resistance to…
