Abstract

Globally, antibiotic resistance results in considerable morbidity and mortality. The introduction of antibiotics in the 1900s led to the belief that humans had triumphed over microorganisms. Bacteria's ability to develop antibiotic resistance was swiftly recognized. Antimicrobial resistance seems to be prevalent in the majority of harmful microorganisms. The main mechanisms of resistance include restricting drug absorption, altering a drug target, inactivating a drug, and active efflux. These mechanisms may be intrinsic or obtained from other microorganisms. Comprehending these systems will improve the treatment of infectious diseases and facilitate the development of antimicrobial agents capable of withstanding microbial resistance.
