Abstract

Microorganisms play a pivotal role in various stages of drug development, contributing to the discovery, production, and testing of pharmaceuticals. It provides an extensive examination of the multifaceted interactions between microorganisms and drug development processes. From natural product discovery to fermentation-based production and microbiome research, microorganisms influence drug development significantly. Understanding these microbial contributions is crucial for advancing drug development strategies and fostering innovation
in the pharmaceutical industry.
