Progress in antibiotic resistance research

Abstract

Antibiotics are chemical substances produced by microorganisms that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It inhibits or kills infections caused by sensitive bacteria and is mainly used to treat various infectious diseases caused by bacteria. Antibiotics can exert their antimicrobial effects by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis, and affecting bacterial DNA synthesis. There are many types of antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, macrolides, aminoglycosides, and so on. When using antibiotics, sensitive antibiotics should be selected according to the specific infectious agent and used correctly according to the doctor’s advice to avoid the development of drug resistance and reduce the Impact of side effects. With the extensive use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance has become a key concern in the use process, closely related to the genetic mutation of bacteria, antibiotic abuse, and decreased immunity. This paper provides a way to understand more about antibiotics by expressing the classification of antibiotics, the causes of resistance, and the mechanism of resistance.
