Antibiotic Resistance: Molecular Mechanisms of Resistance
Abstract: Antibiotics are called as ‘Wonder Drugs’, the miracles of modern sciences. They help combat bacteria and prevent their growth. But due to unmonitored and uncontrolled consumption of these antibiotics, there is an emergence of antibiotic resistance. This has led to a series of downfall in the therapeutic potency and efficacy of many drugs. More and more bacteria are becoming Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR); such highly resistant strains of certain bacteria are …
