Antibiotic resistanceis a further example of a similar problem. Bacteria are not subject to immigration controls, and the ability of the organisms to exchange genetic material, conferring antibiotic resistance, between individuals and in different parts of the world where there are differing medical pra...
An example of how antibiotic resistance spreads is when animals get an antibiotic and develop drug-resistant bacteria in the gut. Microbial resistance now global threat The experts pointed out that there was a dire need to encourage best practices among the general public, health workers and policy...
Offers several insights on how bacteria develops antibiotic resistance. Examples of bacterial strains with increased resistance to the penicillin family of antibiotics; Background on the incidence of antibiotic-resistant pneumococci in Hungary; Description of the bacterial cell walls; Influence of chemical ...
A problem that has plagued antibiotictherapyfrom the earliest days is the resistance thatbacteriacan develop to thedrugs. An antibiotic may kill virtually all the bacteria causing a disease in a patient, but a few bacteria that are genetically lessvulnerableto the effects of thedrugmay survive. ...
These physiological conditions may explain why biofilm-growing bacteria easily become multidrug resistant by means of traditional resistance mechanisms against β-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones, which are detected by routine susceptibility testing in the clinical Chromosomal β-lactamase ...
"The first big cost of antibiotics is resistance," he says. "But the other side of the coin is [the fact that] antibiotics are extinguishing our microbiome and changing human development." By that, Blaser is referring to growing research that shows that the trillions of bacteria that live ...

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a global health problem, particularly involving multidrug-resistant bacteria, extensively drug-resistant bacteria and pandrug-resistant bacteria. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), resistance in common bacteria has reached alarming ...
Currently, several hundred thousand deaths yearly can be attributed to infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The major driver for the development of antibiotic resistance is considered to be the use, misuse and overuse of antibiotics in humans and animals. Nonantibiotic compounds, such as ...
