Biotechnology's Role In Combating Antibiotic Resistance And Safeguarding Public Health
Main Article Content
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to public health, rendering once-effective antibiotics ineffective against bacterial infections. The rise of multidrug-resistant pathogens necessitates innovative approaches to combat this global crisis. Biotechnology, with its diverse tools and techniques, emerges as a crucial player in addressing antibiotic resistance. This research article explores the multifaceted role of biotechnology in combating antibiotic resistance and safeguarding public health
