چکیده
Resistance to drugs/antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria is a growing clinical concern, and the spread of resistant strains worldwide has been discombobulating public health, everywhere, exemplified with Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and a few more pathogens[1]. Particularly, β-lactam antibiotics were known to be equally active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. But, the range of β-lactam antibiotics all penicillin derivatives, PEER REVIEW ABSTRACT
