For decades, a lot of different kinds of antibiotics have been used for multiple purposes like agriculture and animal husbandry. Now-a-days microbes have become resistant to common antibiotics.

The aim of this article is to discuss the emergent micro-organisms, mechanism of microorganisms and its antimicrobial agents.
