It is a well-known fact that microorganisms are developing resistance to antimicrobial drugs present in the market that is known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This resistance in microbes is a great matter of concern among the scientific fraternity. This review article focuses on antibiotics and their respective resistant microbes, factors that cause resistance among microbes, and consequences of AMR at global as well as Indian scenario. This article would be a helpful resource in nutshell for making the ground for discovery of new antibiotics that will be more effective toward microbes.
