Antibiotic resistance is one of most serious health problem. Infections from resistant bacteria are now common. Some pathogens are even become resistant to multiple types of antibiotics. The extraordinary genetic capacities of microbes have benefitted from man's overuse of antibiotics to exploit every source of resistance genes and all means of horizontal gene transmission to develop multiple mechanisms of resistance for each and every antibiotic introduced into practice clinically. The shortage of effective antibiotics will lower the capability to fight infectious diseases. This mainly affect the management of infectious complications in high risk patients undergoing surgery, especially organ transplantation. To prevent the antibiotic resistance by the strict controls on antibiotic use by humans.
