Antibiotics are powerful drugs used to treat bacterial infections by either killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth. Since their discovery, they’ve revolutionized medicine, saving countless lives and enabling procedures like surgery and chemotherapy. However, the rise of antibiotic resistance poses a growing global threat, driving urgent research into new treatments, mechanisms of resistance, and alternative therapies. This page features the latest findings on antibiotics, from breakthroughs in drug discovery to strategies for combating resistance and protecting public health.
