Development Prospect of Antibiotics

Antibiotics are a class of secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes) or higher animals and plants in the life process, which have anti pathogen or other activities, and can interfere with the development of other cells. Looking back on its development history, with the continuous development of microbial research, people also have more and more new discoveries.

With the widespread use and even abuse of antibiotics, the problem of antibiotic resistance of bacteria has become very serious, and antibiotic resistance is posing a threat to global health. Therefore, it is imperative to develop new antibiotics. New antibiotics based on different mechanisms are at different stages of development. In addition, due to the rapid development of biotechnology, it has promoted the research and development of antibody drugs and antibacterial polypeptide drugs and become a new force in the field of antibiotics. The research and development of these new antibiotics is expected to solve the clinical antibiotic resistance and provide a new way for the prevention and treatment of pathogenic microorganisms
