Bacterial infections can strike anyone and usually the body's immune system, which is designed to fight infection, defeats the invading bacteria. Sometimes however, the burden of infection proves too great, so these infections can prove fatal. For 50 years, we have relied on antibiotics to successfully treat the majority of common bacterial infections. As a result, emphasis must be placed on the disquieting reality whilst enjoy the use of antibiotics, an inescapable cost is the development of bacterial resistance. The increasing prevalence of bacterial tolerance against beta-lactams is a problem and as a result is a most pressing health issue. Read moreRead less
