Failure or future? Exploring alternative antibacterials: a comparative analysis of antibiotics and naturally derived biopolymers

The global crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is escalating due to the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, the slow development of new therapies, and the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. Traditional antibiotic treatments face limitations, including the development of resistance, di...
