Therapy Analysis - Antibiotic-resistance: fighting the superbugs
Future perspective
From the early beginnings of 80 years ago, antibiotics have become the mainstay of treatment for bacterial infections. In recent years, antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become a significant obstacle to the future treatment of bacterial infections, and an ongoing challenge for healthcare services worldwide. However, with the continued development of new therapies, there is hope that antibiotics can overcome the threat posed by such bacteria, and continue to be effective in the future.
