Abstract
Anti-microbial resistance is evolving at a pace faster than discovery of new molecules that kill the resistant bacteria. This has limited the number of drugs used to treat various bacterial infections. Untreated infections result in illness and death. Killing the resistant bacteria is getting impossible day by day. Antibiotics are the basic tools that we use to kill the harmful bacteria. If all the bacteria are found to become resistant to antibiotics, a small wound could lead into a life-threatening disease. To avoid entering into an era where no antibiotic is effective, we need to search for alternative approaches through which we can kill bacteria. This involves digging up the old traditional knowledge or inventing new techniques. Many scientists have realized this fact and have discovered novel techniques which can be used to kill the bacteria. The present review summarizes the current advancement in the field of new tools developed to combat the antibiotic resistance.
