Title

Antibiotic Apocalypse

Abstract

The quick development of resistant bacteria is taking place worldwide, endangering the value of antibiotics, which have made a revolution in the medical field and have saved the lives of millions of people. However, many decades after the treatment of the first patient with antibiotics, bacterial infections have once more become a hazard. Bacteria have developed resistance to a broad spectrum of antibiotics, that some have become useless. The antibiotic resistance crisis has been attributed to the overuse and misuse of these medications, as well as a deficiency of new drug development by the pharmaceutical companies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified a number of bacteria as presenting urgent, serious, and concerning threats, many of which are already responsible for placing a substantial clinical and financial burden on the health care system, patients, and their families. Fatal examples of bacteria, that have become resistant to most antibiotics available in the market, will be discussed.
