Abstract
Nowadays, the healthcare system is facing an increasingly pressing challenge: bacterial resistance. Since their first use, antibiotics have been crucial for treating various infections, thereby increasing patients' life expectancy and leading to fundamental discoveries in the field of medicine. However, the improper use and abuse of these drugs have contributed to the development of bacterial antibiotic resistance. This resistance threatens not only the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs but also the ability to effectively treat both common and complex infections. Today, cases of bacterial infections that cannot be treated due to bacteria's resistance to common drugs are becoming more frequent. Also, in orthopedic and dental fields, many cases of bacterial infections have been identified.
When this occurs, most of the time, patients must undergo further surgical treatment, resulting in additional discomfort and higher costs for the healthcare service
