Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern for the medical field due to mutations resulting in  increased virility, transmission rates, and patient fatality rates. Researchers around the world are trying to combat this urgent issue with many different techniques. In order to do so, it is necessary to gain a thorough scientific understanding of how resistance occurs. This review explains how antimicrobial resistance is gained by pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, current day treatments, and future mechanisms to slow the rate of resistance.
