Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have revolutionized the field of medicine, transforming once fatal diseases into manageable conditions. These powerful drugs work by either killing bacteria directly or inhibiting their growth,
The combination of beneficial and detrimental effects of microbiota on its host reflects the coexistence of tolerance and resistance mechanisms towards gut bacteria3,5,31, which have both been found to antagonise invasion by malaria parasites3,5. Sequencing of microbiota revealed that the near ...

The causes are numerous, but the role of the overuse of antibiotics in both humans and animals is essential, as well as the transmission of these bacteria in both the hospital and the community, notably via the food chain, contaminated hands, and between animals and humans. In addition, ...

The growing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a major threat to human health. Paradoxically, new antibiotic discovery is declining, with most of the recently approved antibiotics corresponding to new uses for old antibiotics or structurally sim
During the last decades the number of AR infections has been on the rise, and this trend will certainly continue [1]. The vast majority of antibiotic classes currently used originate from natural compounds, and bacteria have been evolving in the antibiotic-containing natural environment for ...
