Abstract

The natural selection has provided some resistance mechanisms of bacteria or adaptation face some antibiotiques. Or nowadays, overuse of antibiotics and exaggerated in inadequate conditions contributed to the increase in resistance rates. According to the World Health Organization, the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a major problem of the twenty-first century. Increasingly, bacteria acquire new resistance mechanisms and arrive to surpass the action of antibiotics. To fight against the proliferation of bacteria, it becomes necessary to find new and effective solutions to this major public health issue.
