The problem is known as multi-resistance, and is generally described as one of the most significant future threats to public health Antibiotic resistance can arise in bacteria in our environment and in our bodies. Antibiotic resistance can then be transferred to the bacteria that cause human ...
Antibiotic resistance, loss of susceptibility of bacteria to the killing (bacteriocidal) or growth-inhibiting (bacteriostatic) properties of an antibiotic agent. When a resistant strain of bacteria is the dominant strain in an infection, the infection ma
Relative to the total number of drugs tested (Fig.2), the antibiotic susceptibility of cave bacteria belonging to different phyla showed large taxonomic-related variations. Gram-positive isolates displayed the highest resistance to metronidazole, fatty acyls, lincosamides, cephalosporins and aminoglycosides...
“Antibiotic resistance is one of our main problems in medicine,” Santos-Lopez said. “We have to develop new treatments, and one idea is to take advantage of what the field calls ‘collateral sensitivity.’ When bacteria evolve resistance to one drug, it can expose a vulnerability to a di...
Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics by adapting their structure or function in some way as a defense mechanism. The antibiotic may have worked effectively before the resistance occurred; however, the change helps the bacteria to fend off the killing activity of the antibiotic....
The part of bacterial DNA that often carries antibiotic resistance is a master at moving between different types of bacteria and adapting to widely differing bacterial species, shows a study made by a research team at the University of Gothenburg in coop
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. ...

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a global health concern of increasing importance and intensive study. Although biofilms are a common source of infections in clinical settings, little is known about the development of antibiotic resistance within biofi
The outlines of antibiotic resistance of some probiotic microorganisms were studied. This study was conducted with the double purpose of verifying their ability to survive if they are taken simultaneously with an antibiotic therapy and to increase the selective properties of suitable media for the isola...
