Abstract

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing a significant threat to human health. This paper will examine the causes and consequences of antibiotic resistance, discussing the different mechanisms by which bacteria develop resistance. It will explore the current state of research into new antibiotics and alternative treatment strategies, and the importance of antibiotic stewardship in combating this growing problem.
