The continued and growing threat from antibiotic resistance coupled with a lack of newer antibiotics has necessitated the use of alternatives to combat these formidable bacterial infections. Figure shows a Trend Landscape Map representing number of documents, including journal and patent publications, from 2012 onwards for data retrieved from the CAS Content Collection, associated with emerging antibacterial strategies. The number of documents directly correlate with the interest of researchers in any particular antibacterial strategy or the form of antibacterial being used in the last decade. Based on the numbers in the map, a selected few of which we are discussed briefly in this section.
