SUPERBUGS: CHALLENGE TO MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
Bacteria can cause serious and sometimes life threatening infections. However, bacteria "learn" to resist each new drug, making infections more difficult. Superbugs continue to be a challenge to physicians and health care workers. Studies of the genomes of strains of lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan have provided evidence for the rapid evolution of drug resistance. Healthy adults are vulnerable to antibiotic-resistant infections, but children, seniors, the chronically ill often are particularly susceptible. At the same time, the pipeline of new antibiotics to treat these infections has slowed. The present review states different types of superbugs and preventive measures to it.
