The discovery of penicillin in 1928 by Alexander Fleming , a magic antibiotic used for treatment of most of the bacterial infection marked the beginning of antibiotic era. With booming drug development a new drug was always available to treat increasing drug resistant bacteria. Between 1935 to 2003 fourteen classes of antibiotics were developed. However with the indiscriminate and inappropriate use of antibiotics, microbes developed mechanisms to elude the action of antimicrobial agents. JMS 2014;17(2):48-49
