The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) infections have been on a persistence increase and thus; a worldwide public health emergency (Wright, 2013, Bennani et al., 2020). Infections that cannot be treated with leading antimicrobials with broad spectrum ability, such as the cephalosporin and uoroquinolones are huge concern, as they are multidrug-resistant infections(Woolhouse and Ward, 2013). Also, infections associated with AMR have been linked to a protracted hospital admission, thus increasing the cost of healthcare delivery (Shrestha et al., 2019).
