Abstract

Multidrug resistant bacteria are marching and winning. The entire human race is at risk and new, effective antibiotics are needed for survival. Several notable routines to develop novel antibiotics are briefly compared here and possible new strategies are proposed. Key words include but not limited to nanotechnology, metal nanoparticles, natural product, medicinal plants, folk medicine, ethnopharmacology, computer-based screening, synergistic antibacterial activity, genomics, peptides, inhibitor, and structure-based virtual screening.
