ABSTRACT

A considerable technological advancement in the present decade has immensely improved healthcare system, contributing to longer lifespan of humans, but at the same time, witnessed some of the deadliest aftermath of antibiotic resistance. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria are nowadays evolving at an alarming rate, which has already led to several hundreds of deaths worldwide. Although natural alternatives to antibiotics do exist in nature, the biggest limitation is implementing them as treatments for humans. These limitations are mainly due to high cost of production, lower efficacies and unforeseen side effects. Several genetic engineering techniques are recently seeing success in humans as treatments for diseases caused by such MDR-bacteria. The objective of this review is to discuss on some potential nonantibiotic approaches to resist multi-drug resistance in bacteria. Keywords: antibiotic resistance, genetic engineering techniques, multi-drug resistant, non-antibiotic approaches, pathogenic bacteria
