Nazarbayev University School of Medicinehttp://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/3293The rapid emergence of drug resistant bacteria is occurring worldwide, endangering the efficacy of antibiotics, which have transformed medicine and saved millions of lives (1-6). Many decades after the first patients were treated with antibiotics, bacterial infections have again become a threat (7).
