Abstract
The discovery and subsequent clinical introduction of antibiotics is one of the most important game changers in the history of medicine.

Unfortunately, in recent years the use of antibiotics has been accompanied by the rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance causing a major threat to healthcare system.
