· Antibiotic resistance is the ability of some disease-causing microorganisms to avoid the killing action of drugs that once destroyed or controlled them. Improper use and overuse of antibiotics has led to the evolution of stronger and tougher strains of bacteria that are no longer sensitive to standard drug treatments--a sort of "superbacteria ...
· The term ‘antibiotic’ is used throughout to mean an agent with activity against microorganisms, rather than the more general term ‘antimicrobial’. Also, although antibiotic resistance is important in the treatment of infections due to viruses, fungi and protozoa, this discussion is limited to bacterial infections.
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 …
Thus, when treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the interpretation of susceptibility patterns may vary according to the clinical scenario and the availability of treatment options. For instance, the concentration of gentamicin achieved in the urine may be sufficiently high to treat a lower urinary tract infection caused by an organism ...

In certain settings, such as hospitals and some childcare locations, the rate of antibiotic resistance is so high that the usual, low …
· Antibiotic abuse and overuse can encourage the growth of germs that are resistant to them. When a person uses antibiotics, the bacteria that the drugs can still kill are destroyed, but germs that are resistant to the antibiotics are allowed to spread and thrive. This is how frequent usage of antibiotics can lead to an increase of bacteria that ...
· The application of antibiotics leads to the colonization of antibiotic-resistant strains in human and animal intestines, where the ARGs spread via HGT in the intestinal microorganisms. This leads to the transfer of ARGs to opportunistic pathogens and the emergence of MDR genes in many such pathogens.
