In this review, the growing concern towards life threatening antimicrobial resistance development in microorganisms is overviewed. There are several different types of antimicrobial medicines, including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics. Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat infectious diseases in humans and animals, as well as plants. The development of drug resistance can lead to an ineffective treatment of infections, resulting in disease spread, significant illness, disability, and death. We face an increasing threat from drug-resistant pathogens that can't be treated and threaten the ability to perform life-saving interventions, like cancer chemotherapy and caesarean sections, hip replacements, and organ transplants. As a result of the global rise in antibiotic resistance, common antibiotics are becoming ineffective in treating widespread bacterial infections. There can be complications associated with treating fungal infections, including interactions between drugs for patients suffering from other illnesses. For all these, we are in a position to use several antibiotics. In this review, a brief outline of the history of antimicrobial resistance, mechanisms of resistance development, types of antibiotics, current challenges and emergence of antibiotic resistant microorganisms are summarized.
