Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a serious problem in public health. Resistance mechanisms are emerging and being disseminated globally due to deficiencies in health conditions and the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in humans and animals. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are among the most present bacteria when it comes to antimicrobial resistance. Leptospira interrogans infections have limited treatment options and little progress has been made about this in last years. Brazil has an rich ecosystem in snake species. Among the venomous snakes that cause most of the ophidian accidents in the country are the genera Bothrops and Crotalus. The venom of these animals has a diversity of bioactives with biological, biochemical and pharmacological functions. Therefore, several studies have been done with these substances to develop new drugs. Regarding the several functions already discovered about venom bioactives, the antimicrobial potential has been the object of important researchs, considering the world scenario of bacterial resistance.
