Abstract
Antibiotics are integral components of medicine and therapy for majority of diseases. Despite the advancements in medical science, the therapeutic efficiency of major antibiotics is gradually decreasing due to increased antibiotic resistance in most of the bacterial species. The mechanisms involved in developing antibiotic resistance include modification of antibiotic molecules, reducing drug permeability, modification of target binding sites and biofilm formation. Nevertheless, reducing drug permeability and formation of biofilm are known to contribute antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori. Further significant research is essential in improving the efficiency of eliminating bacterial infections. Therefore, this review contemplates on understanding the mechanisms involved in developing antibiotic resistance in pathogens and H. pylori.
