Antibiotic Resistance of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strains-Searching for New Antimicrobial Agents-Review.

ABSTRACT: Inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics is responsible for the rapid development of antimicrobial resistance, which is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality. There is an urgent need to explore new antibiotics or alternative antimicrobial agents. S. aureus a commensal microorganism but is also responsible for numerous infections. In addition to innate resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, S. aureus strains resistant to methicillin (MRSA) often show resistance to other classes of antibiotics (multidrug resistance). The advancement of phage therapy against MRSA infections offers a promising alternative in the context of increasing antibiotic resistance. Therapeutic phages are easier to obtain and cheaper to produce than antibiotics. However, there is sti
