MICROBIAL PIGMENTS NOVEL THERAPEUTIC AGENTS FOR COMBATTING INFECTIONS AND DISEASES

Abstract

Within the healthcare industry, the rise of infectious diseases is expected to be one of the main causes of death. Despite the fact that there are many medications on the market, recently discovered microorganisms with multidrug resistance (MDR) prevent existing medications from working as intended. This has led to the need for developing novel medications, which takes time, money, and labor, as well as increased antibiotic dosage therapies. MDR bacteria are a significant problem due to their increased prevalence and growth, which can be attributed to the misuse of antimicrobials. Antimicrobial drug resistance is being prevented via novel techniques. The main uses of natural products derived from bacteria for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer, infections, allergies, and other conditions that pose a risk to public health are reviewed in this paper. We also go into detail on the biological activities of bacterial secondary metabolites that have been found, including their antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. These activities are particularly important in the modern day due to the rise of drug-resistant microbial infections. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest concerns to world health today and a major barrier to the treatment of infectious diseases. We will talk about in this essay.
