Alternative Approaches to Managing Microbial Susceptibility in a Post-antibiotic Era

Abstract

Dougan Burciu

With the rise of antibiotic-resistant microbes, the traditional approach to microbial susceptibility management faces significant challenges. In a post-antibiotic era, alternative strategies become imperative to combat microbial infections effectively. This article explores various alternative approaches to managing microbial susceptibility, including phage therapy, probiotics, immunomodulation, antimicrobial peptides and innovative drug delivery systems. Understanding and implementing these alternative approaches are crucial for addressing the pressing issue of antibiotic resistance and ensuring sustainable treatment options for microbial infections.
