Antibiotic Resistance: A Real Menace
Journal Title: Oman Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 32, Issue 6
Abstract
I read with interest the Editorial titled: ‘Antibiotics Resistance: When the Armamentarium Gets to the Verge of Being Empty’ published in the July 2017 issue of the Oman Medical Journal. The author indeed hit the nail on the head when pointing out that antibiotics can be our best friend, but also our greatest enemy.
