The Fight Against Bacterial Drug-Resistance

Abstract

Bacteria are something that has been around long before mankind. Bacteria can often cause infections in the human body, and this is where antibiotics come into play. Antibiotics are generally used as antibacterial drugs. In the past few decades, because of the overuse of antibiotics, some bacteria have, through time, become resistant in order to survive in the environment. This has become a crucial issue for clinical treatment, and has caught a mass of attention. The current discoveries of the mechanisms of the drug-resistant bacteria have given new hope in finding a solution. The goal of new research may just put a stop to the battle between human and bacteria.
