Abstract

Drug-resistant bacterial infections have emerged as a critical global public health challenge, characterized by high mortality rates, substantial healthcare costs, and rapid transmission characteristics that pose a severe test to modern medical practice. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), with its comprehensive theoretical framework and extensive clinical experience, demonstrates unique advantages in infectious disease management. Particularly in addressing drug-resistant bacterial infections, TCM has achieved remarkable progress by integrating its fundamental principle of "strengthening vital Qi while eliminating pathogens" with contemporary research methodologies. This review systematically examines the current epidemiological landscape of antimicrobial resistance, elucidates the theoretical foundations of TCM intervention, and analyzes its therapeutic advantages and mechanistic actions. By synthesizing these perspectives, we aim to provide novel insights and approaches for combating drug-resistant bacterial infections.
