Her research interest is evolved around infectious diseases, the emergence of resistant strains, and the effect of using natural products as alternative medications. Nowadays, the world is going on the cusp of a “post-antibiotic era,” where the prevalence of resistant pathogens is increasing and expanding all over the world. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have emerged as health threats, necessitating new tactics in the fight against microbial infection. The misuse of antibiotics and the adoption of ineffective infection-treatment protocols are the main causes of the issue. Thus, it is critical to understand the local pattern of antibiotic resistance as each country should have up-to-date antibiotic susceptibility data. Ironically, this issue arises at a time when many pharmaceutical companies cut back development efforts to find new treatments for MDR due to a lack of substantial finances. As a result, one of the largest health issues in the world today is MDR.
