摘要

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a growing global issue, as many first-line antibiotics are becoming less effective due to their overuse and misuse. Recent advances in novel antibiotic derivatives reveal mechanisms designed to counteract AMR. Even though conventional antimicrobial therapy has failed, no new antibiotic class has been developed in the past decade. Consequently, various innovative alternative tactics have been discovered to counteract drug-resistant pathogens. The article reviews novel approaches in combating AMR, which include antimicrobial peptides, phage therapy, CRISPR-Cas gene editing, nanomaterial-based antimicrobials, immunomodulatory agents, innovative physicochemical strategies, and combination therapy. Collectively, these approaches utilize cutting edge technologies that mark a shift from the traditional paradigm of antibiotics to integrated next-generation therapeutics. AMR remains a serious issue despite all of the noted advancements, and hence, a collaborative and multidisciplinary action involving researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and pharmaceutical sector is urgently required. The emergence and burden of AMR can be better tackled by inventiveness, cooperation, and proactive approaches.
