During the past thirty years the world has been at peace but tomorrow will be different. Since the invention of antibiotics, mankind has been over-using those molecules to cure diseases. However, we also miss used them and we are on the edge of paying the bill back. Indeed, recent years have seen the emergence of resistance in bacteria; making the treatment using antibiotics less and less efficient.
Today, certain strains of bacteria are resistant to several antibiotics; making the treatment process difficult and engaging the life expectancy of patients; especially in the case of severe infections. [1] [2]
