Emerging antibiotic resistance
Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 1997The clinical introduction of antimicrobial agents led to dramatic improvements in our ability to successfully treat serious bacterial infections in patients. Previously fatal diseases, such as endocarditis and meningitis, became medically treatable in a significant number of cases.

AAOHN Journal, 2010
This article reviews the causes and consequences of antibiotic resistance and efforts to control its growth. Antibiotic-resistant infections and related morbidity and mortality are on the rise in the United States and around the world. At the same time, the effectiveness of many antibiotics has declined.

Nursing Clinics of North America, 2005
Resistance to antibiotics is economically and physiologically costly. Control of antibiotic resistance will require aggressive implementation of numerous strategies. Ongoing surveillance is needed to monitor known antibiotic types and to be able to identify the development of other potential types. Early intervention is needed to combat the rising rate

Antibiotic-Resistant Pneumococci
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1995Antibiotic-resistant pneumococci are increasing in prevalence in the United States and are present in numerous areas of the country. Simple screening methods available to identify penicillin-resistant strains and improved national surveillance programs should give more accurate data on the frequency that these resistant pneumococci are causing disease.

Through billions of years of evolution, microbes have developed myriad defense mechanisms designed to ensure their survival. This protection is readily transferred to their fellow life forms via transposable elements. Despite very early warnings, humans have chosen to abuse the gift of antibiotics and have created a situation where all microorganisms ...

Glycopeptide Antibiotic Resistance
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2002Glycopeptide antibiotics are integral components of the current antibiotic arsenal that is under strong pressures as a result of the emergence of a variety of resistance mechanisms over the past 15 years. Resistance has manifested itself largely through the expression of genes that encode proteins that reprogram cell wall biosynthesis and thus evade ...

Reversing antibiotic resistance
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2002Over the past decade many well-tried chemotherapeutic agents have lost their effectiveness. This is due to a phenomenon referred to as multi-drug resistance. The most likely cause of multi-drug resistance is an increase in the activity of an efflux pump mediated through the actions of a P-glycoprotein.

How antibiotics cause antibiotic resistance
Drug Discovery Today, 1999Antimicrobial agents are approaching the end of their effectiveness. The prevailing drug development strategy is based on a presumption that results in resistance: that disease can be cured by exploitation of the vulnerabilities in microbial reproduction. Although some did predict the evolution of resistance to such drugs, the mechanisms by which genes

Antibiotic-resistant enterococci
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1992Enterococci have emerged as an important cause of nosocomial infection. Successful antibiotic treatment of serious enterococcal infection usually depends on the synergistic bactericidal effect achieved by the combination of a cell wall-active agent, such as ampicillin or a glycopeptide, and an aminoglycoside.
