Bacterial resistance to antibiotics poses a serious challenge to the prospect of chemotherapy. Rational use of antibiotics is most desirable but it cannot provide a permanent solution to the problem. In this article the biochemical and genetic basis of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is discussed with examples. The non-clinical aspects of antibiotic-resistance are also dealt with in brief.
