Abstract
The evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an issue of great importance. Antibiotic-resistant strains are continuously emerging, and, currently, bacterial and viral infections are responsible for approximately 5-10% of deaths in industrialized world; more than 30% of deaths in Southeast Asia, and 60% in Africa [1].
