Antibiotic Resistance

Biosecurity and Bioterrorism: Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science, 2009
Antibiotic resistance poses serious challenges to health and national security, and policy changes will be required to mitigate the consequences of antibiotic resistance. Resistance can arise in disease-causing bacteria naturally, or it can be deliberately introduced to a biological weapon.

Antibiotic Resistance

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1995
Antibiotics are commonly viewed as the most important advance in the history of medicine. During the six decades that followed the introduction of sulfonamides there has been a continuous supply of new agents responsive to evolving resistance of prior pathogens and emerging new pathogens.

Mutation and Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance: Antibiotics as Promoters of Antibiotic Resistance?

Current Drug Targets, 2002
Antibiotic resistance appearance and spread have been classically considered the result of a process of natural selection, directed by the use of antibiotics. Bacteria, that have to face the antibiotic challenge, evolve to acquire resistance and, under this strong selective pressure, only the fittest survive, leading to the spread of resistance ...

Antibiotic resistance

Dental Clinics of North America, 2003
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 ...

Antibiotic Resistance

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 Resistance

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.

Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in water environments

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2008
Antibiotic-resistant organisms enter into water environments from human and animal sources. These bacteria are able to spread their genes into water-indigenous microbes, which also contain resistance genes. On the contrary, many antibiotics from industrial origin circulate in water environments, potentially altering microbial ecosystems.
