Nevertheless, the dis- covery of magic bullet replaced that panic therapies from the medical history for- ever and enlighten the path for modern medicine, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains further createdhavoc conditions. Hence, within this book, all the informa- tion regarding the ...
Moreover, patients with antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections consume more healthcare resources and have worse clinical outcomes, such as death [1], compared with patients with antibiotic-sensitive bacterial infections. It is estimated that antibiotic resistance may be the major cause of mortality ...

Antibiotic resistance can be “natural,” when all the strains of the same bacterial species are resistant to a particular drug (also known as intrinsic resistance), or “acquired,” when there are susceptible and resistant strains in the same species, with resistant strains having evolved from ...
Antibiotics are the foundation of modern medicine and over the last century have dramatically improved the lives of people around the world. Nowadays we tend to take antibiotics for granted and rely heavily on them to treat or prevent bacterial infections, including for example, to reduce the risk...
antibiotic - a chemical substance derivable from a mold or bacterium that can kill microorganisms and cure bacterial infections; "when antibiotics were first discovered they were called wonder drugs" antibiotic drug actinomycin - any of various red antibiotics isolated from soil bacteria amphotericin - ...
The rapid emergence of resistant bacteria is occurring worldwide, endangering the efficacy of antibiotics, which have transformed medicine saved millions of lives. Many decades after the first patients were treated with antibiotics, bacterial infections have again become a threat. ...
The worldwide increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria is of great concern. One of the main causes is antibiotic use which is likely to be high but is poorly described in India. The aim was to analyze and compare antibiotic prescribing for inpatients, i
As a consequence, adding a β-lactamase inhibitor that is commonly used to potentiate treatment against β-lactam-resistant strains can reduce rather than increase treatment efficacy. Together, these results underscore the importance of systematic mapping the long-term clearance efficacy of drug ...
