NATURAL ANTI-BACTERIAL COMPOUNDS AGAINST MDR (MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE) BACTERIA
Main Article Content
Keywords
Multi drug Resistance, Conventional antibiotics, Bacterial infections, Normal flora
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is one of the major concerns in healthcare department these days, because now
resistance is not limited to hospitals only. Resistance due to multidrug-resistant bacteria is responsible
for high mortality rate. Infections due to these type of bacteria is increasing day by day, while the
production of antibiotics is very slow as compared to the pace of production of the antibiotics. Usage
of antibiotics causes the elimination of normal flora that produces multi drug resistant bacteria
(MDR). Due to increase in antibiotic resistance, now the world is moving toward using natural
compounds to overcome all these issues. Because these methods are cost effective, eco-friendly and
have no side effects as observed in case of conventional antibiotics.
