Therapeutic approaches to combat the global antibiotic resistance challenge

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major concern for healthcare workers due to the emergence of new variants of resistant markers, especially carbapenemases. Combinational antibiotic therapy is one of the best and easiest approaches to handle the current situation of AMR. Although some antibiotic combinations are already in clinical use, they remain to be studied in detail. This review focuses on therapeutic options for AMR mechanisms of resistance in bacteria that can be overcome by combinational therapy and testing methods for synergy. The integration of diverse approaches may provide information that is imperative in mitigating the threat of AMR.
