Antibiotic
Respected doctor,
Is there any alternative to antibiotic.
What if the last line of drug fails to cure in this drug resistance era.
My mother suffering from chronic typhoid since last 10 years which relapses every 2 months, A lot of antibiotics have been given in the last 10 years and she developed resistance to many. Even amikacin and piperacellin tazobactam failed. Anyhow she's stable now on ciprofloxacin tablet. My question is,Is there any other option other than antibiotics. Because i know one day ciprofloxacin will fail too, And that time will be a matter of great concern. This resistance problem of medicine was not there 20-25 years ago.
