Antibiotic Resistance : Challenges and Strategies in Combating Infections

Copyright © 2023, Chavada et al..

From a broader perspective, antibiotic or antimicrobial resistance is still evolving and spreading internationally. Infectious diseases have become more complex and often impossible to cure, increasing morbidity and mortality. Despite the failure of conventional, standard antimicrobial therapy, no new class of antibiotics has been developed in the last 20 years, which results in various cutting-edge and other tactics that can be used to encounter these disease-causing microorganisms with antibiotic resistance. In the continued fight against bacterial infections, there is an urgent requirement for new antibiotics and other antimicrobials. Antibiotic resistance is inevitable, and pharmaceutical companies consistently show little interest in funding novel antibiotic research. Some methods are being used as a possible replacement for conventional antibiotics. Combination therapy, methods that target the proteins or enzymes that cause antimicrobial resistance and bacterial resistance, systems for delivery of the drug, physicochemical approaches, and informal ways, such as the CRISPR-Cas system, are some of these approaches. These various approaches influence how multi-drug-resistant organisms are handled in human clinical settings.
