Description Chapter in Handbook on Antimicrobial Resistance
Antibiotics were the biggest discovery in the twentieth century and have positively impacted infection treatment in human and animal health. After several decades of use and misuse of antibiotics, the world is now racing toward pre-antibiotic era with the development of resistance in bacteria to the maximum number of antibiotics. The development and spread of resistance are mediated through several mechanisms evolved due to the immense genetic plasticity of bacteria. Understanding the underlying molecular basis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is pertinent to develop new drugs or design appropriate strategies to prevent the emergence of resistance. The present chapter is a ready reckoner for the mode of action of antibiotics, mechanism of AMR, and transfer of its resistance.
