  Antibiotic Resistance in Clinical Infections: Current Challenges and Strategies
  Author(s): Baraud Fabiene*
  
  Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and become resistant to the drugs designed to kill them. This phenomenon undermines the effectiveness of antibiotics, rendering once-treatable infections difficult or even impossible to control. The development of antibiotic resistance is driven by a complex interplay of factors. The global increase in antibiotic resistance is alarming. Pathogens like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria and carbapenem-resistant have become formidable adversaries in healthcare settings. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis further compounds the problem. One of the primary drivers of antibiotic resistance is the inappropriate use of antibiotics. This includes overprescribing by healthcare providers, patient .. Read More»
