ABSTRACT
A serious concern to world health is antibiotic resistance. The fast increase in germs that are resistant to antibiotics and the slow discovery of new medications in recent years have made it clear that this problem needs immediate attention. In order for antibiotics to be effective in treating illnesses, bacteria must be able to tolerate their effects. This is known as antibiotic resistance. Multiple methods, such as genetic changes, horizontal gene transfer, and the development of biofilms, might lead to this resistance. Several approaches have been proposed to overcome antibiotic resistance. Additionally, enhancing surveillance and diagnostic techniques can aid in the early detection of resistant infections and guide appropriate treatment decisions. Overcoming antibiotic resistance requires a multifaceted approach that combines the discovery of new antibiotics, optimization of existing treatments, exploration of alternative therapies, and addressing the underlying factors driving resistance. The current review aims to discuss the concept along with various approaches to overcome antibiotic resistance which will be beneficial for pharmaceutical scientists working in the field of biotechnology and related diseases.
