Perspective
Better Understanding of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistant Strategies through Proteomics
Author(s): Hui Peng*
Bacterial pathogens continue to threaten human health and animal husbandry industry by affecting millions of lives worldwide and causing significant economic loss [1]. Antibiotics are the primary means of treating or preventing bacterial infections. It provides enormous benefits to human health and animal husbandry. However, over use and/or misuse of antibiotics increase the incidence of drug-resistant bacteria which are insensitive to most current antibiotic weapons. Existing antibiotics are more prevalent in clinics and settings than before. New antibiotics can be developed to target multi-drug resistant bacteria, but developing new antibiotics takes a very long time. More importantly, it is not a viable approach to address the spread of multi-drug resistant drugs, drought induced infections in the antimicrobial development pipeline, therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate..
