Antibiotics once transformed medicine and saved millions of lives. Today, that miracle is under threat.
Antibiotic Resistance: The Silent Pandemic and the Future of Medicine explores one of the most dangerous global health crises of the 21st century—where common infections are becoming harder, costlier, and sometimes impossible to treat.
Written in clear, accessible language, this book takes readers from the discovery of antibiotics to the alarming rise of superbugs, explaining how misuse in humans, hospitals, and agriculture has accelerated resistance worldwide. With real-world examples and a strong global and Indian perspective, it reveals why simply creating new antibiotics is no longer enough.
The book then looks forward—into the future of medicine—where science is fighting back using revolutionary approaches such as:
-
Phage therapy that uses viruses to kill bacteria
-
AI-designed antibiotics and precision medicine
-
CRISPR-based antimicrobials
-
Nanomedicine and smart drug delivery systems
-
Vaccines as a long-term defense against infection
More than a warning, this book is a guide to understanding the crisis and the solutions shaping tomorrow’s healthcare systems. It is ideal for students, health professionals, policymakers, competitive exam aspirants, and informed readers who want to understand how medicine must evolve in a post-antibiotic world.
If antibiotics fail, modern medicine fails. This book shows why—and what we can still do about it.
