Development and Research Progress of Anti-Drug Resistant Bacteria Drugs

Abstract

Bacterial resistance has become increasingly serious because of the widespread use and abuse of antibiotics. In particular, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has posed a serious threat to human public health and attracted the attention of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the governments of various countries. Therefore, the establishment of measures against bacterial resistance and the discovery of new antibacterial drugs are increasingly urgent to better contain the emergence of bacterial resistance and provide a reference for the development of new antibacterial drugs. In this review, we discuss some antibiotic drugs that have been approved for clinical use and a partial summary of the meaningful research results of anti-drug resistant bacterial drugs in different fields, including the antibiotic drugs approved by the FDA from 2015 to 2020, the potential drugs against drug-resistant bacteria, the new molecules synthesized by chemical modification, combination therapy, drug repurposing, immunotherapy and other therapies.

Sprayable Bioactive Dressings for Skin Wounds: Recent Developments and Future Prospects

“…Infection control is a critical step in treating skin wounds, as infection delays the inflammatory phase, which may result in a hard-to-heal wound. Besides antiseptics and antibiotics, new compounds and treatments have been constantly investigated, especially with the rise of resistant microorganisms [69,70] and the formation of biofilms [71]. Additionally, in hard-to-heal wounds, there is greater infection susceptibility, which is the focus of several studies [72,73].…”

Biomimetic FeCo@PDA nanozyme platform with Fenton catalytic activity as efficient antibacterial agent

“…However, long-term repeated use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections not only increases the number of resistant bacteria but also causes systemic drug toxicity. [2][3][4][5] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new antibacterial drugs or treatment schemes to deal with this dilemma. In recent years, the development of nanotechnology has provided a variety of new strategies to achieve effective antibacterials.…”

Design of Antimicrobial Peptides with Cell-Selective Activity and Membrane-Acting Mechanism against Drug-Resistant Bacteria

“…Overuse and improper application of antibiotics in the biomedical field has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], making it critical to develop a new generation of antimicrobial agents to replace those that are no longer effective. Several studies have been conducted to identify novel antibiotics from various natural sources [ 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”
