Abstract

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a global challenge that significantly impacts the effectiveness of medical treatments. Resistant bacteria survive and multiply even when exposed to antibiotics, making the management of infections more challenging. To address this issue, researchers are exploring innovative therapeutic approaches, including phage therapy (which utilizes viruses to target bacterial infections) and evolutionary medicine (advancing cancer treatment and bacterial resistance fields). Additionally, pollution may contribute to antibiotic resistance, raising further concerns about treatment efficacy. In this context, we will conduct a comprehensive literature review, analyzing recent scientific studies, health organization reports, and relevant research. The overall objective of this article is to investigate and comprehend the challenges posed by bacterial antibiotic resistance, while considering new therapeutic strategies and the impact of environmental factors. Our research aims to contribute to public health and promote a multidisciplinary and innovative approach to tackling the issue of bacterial resistance. In the face of the global challenge posed by bacterial antibiotic resistance, innovative therapeutic approaches are essential. Phage therapy and evolutionary medicine offer promising avenues for combating resistant bacteria. However, we must also consider environmental factors, such as pollution, which can exacerbate resistance. By fostering a multidisciplinary and forward-thinking approach, we can address this critical issue and safeguard public health.
