AMR as occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. Nation- wide data obtained for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus showed that the proportion of resistance to commonly used specified antibacterial drugs exceeded 50% in many settings [1]. Resistant bacteria especially Staphylococci, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp., and enterococci are becoming harboured in healthcare institutions. AMR of these pathogens frequently results in treatment failure, which generates serious consequences, mainly in critically ill patients. Bacteria develop resistance towards antibiotics by various mechanisms such as efflux pumps, producing enzymes that degrade antibiotics and alteration of the target [2].
