 ABSTRACT

Globally, current position in the clinical world shows constant increase in the resistance among pathogenic bacteria for the available range of antibiotics. It has become a major threat and challenge for health care system to treat patients efficiently. Not only it is associated with high morbidity and mortality, it also raises a challenge of dramatic increase in number of strains that are resistant to multiple types of antibiotics. The aim of this review is to explore the timeline of antibiotics discovery, its societal impact, grade of usage, mechanism of development of resistance by microbes and probable solutions to combat the problem. This article reiterates about optimal usage of antimicrobial agents to reduce the chances of acquiring multi drug resistance.

Keywords: antibiotics, Microbes, Antimicrobial resistance, Multidrug resistance.
