Abstract
Antibiotics over time have represented one of the greatest advances in medicine, because these drugs have served for the treatment of various infectious diseases; however, these began to be used in an excessive way to the point of causing various microorganisms to become resistant in the presence of these agents. This phenomenon is what we call bacterial resistance, and despite being a natural process, it has been accelerated by the inappropriate use and consumption of antibiotics, which is why in recent years bacterial resistance has become one of the main threats to global public health. The objective of this article is to describe in a general way the problem of bacterial resistance, touching as main points its mechanisms, the spread of resistant bacteria, and some examples of bacteria of clinical interest that have presented multi-resistance.
