Unraveling resistance mechanisms in combination therapy : A comprehensive review of recent advances and future directions

© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat. Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials are the main drivers in developing drug-resistant bacteria. The emergence of the rapid global spread of multi-resistant bacteria requires urgent multisectoral action to generate novel treatment alternatives. Combination therapy offers the potential to exploit synergistic effects for enhanced antibacterial efficacy of drugs. Understanding the complex dynamics and kinetics of drug interactions in combination therapy is crucial. Therefore, this review outlines the current advances in antibiotic resistance's evolutionary and genetic dynamics in combination therapies-exposed bacteria. Moreover, we also discussed four pivotal future research areas to comprehend better the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria treated with combination strategies.
