Market Overview:

Antibiotics continue to serve as an essential part of modern medical practice, because they treat bacterial infections and protect patients from complications that occur during primary care and critical procedures including surgeries and chemotherapy and organ transplants. Beta-lactams together with macrolides and tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones represent different classes of antibiotics that stop bacterial growth or eliminate bacteria. The increasing global health threat from antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to market changes that focus on developing new antibiotics alongside responsible use initiatives. The antibiotic market continues to evolve because of emerging bacterial strains together with rising hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and the growing number of surgical procedures and immunocompromised patients.
