Abstract
Infectious diseases are serious global health problems as
they are often difficult to control, manage or eradicate. COVID-19 pandemic is
a classic example of such problems that has devastated the whole world. Lack of
new drugs as well as resistance to available anti-infective drugs, particularly
antibiotics, have made these diseases difficult to treat (World Health
Organization, 2020). In fact, antibiotic resistance is one of the prevalent
threats to global health today. Therefore, discovery of effective and safe
antibiotics has become a global priority.
