Currently, the world is faced with a rapid increase in antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms. The formation of resistance of pathogens to most groups of modern antibiotics is a serious challenge for healthcare. Many proven drugs have lost their effectiveness. Standard therapy is no longer suitable for the treatment of diseases caused by resistant bacterial strains. Complications may occur, as well as the number of deaths. The key areas of combating this problem are monitoring the spread of resistance, the search for new antimicrobial drugs and strict control over their use. All this will require the combined efforts of scientists, the state and society as a whole.
