Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has become one of the major, deadly threats to public health worldwide. This paper highlights several recent works, which may initiate the development of comprehensive approaches to mitigate antibiotic resistance. The new strategies demonstrate efficiency and efficacy, with very little probability of inducing drug resistance, paving the way for further breakthroughs in drug discovery for infection control.
