Modeling microbial drug-resistance: from mathematics to pharmacoeconomics
Complicated intra-abdominal infection (IAI) requires increased health care expenditures and additional resources to compensate for an ineffective starting therapy.Aim. To select the economically optimal algorithm for using antimicrobial agents (AMA) that

Microbial Persistence and the Road to Drug Resistance [PDF]
Microbial drug persistence is a widespread phenomenon in which a subpopulation of microorganisms is able to survive antimicrobial treatment without acquiring resistance-conferring genetic changes. Microbial persisters can cause recurrent or intractable infections, and, like resistant mutants, they carry an increasing clinical burden.

Chronic arsenic exposure and microbial drug resistance [PDF]
Resistance to antimicrobial drugs represents one of the greatest threats to the control of infectious diseases and is a particular problem in treating diseases caused by parasitic protists. These pathogens are of enormous medical importance, causing diseases such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis, and leishmaniasis. In the absence of effective

The Impact of Triclosan on the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance in the Environment [PDF]
Triclosan (TCS) is a commonly used antimicrobial agent that enters wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the environment. An estimated 1.1 × 105 to 4.2 × 105 kg of TCS are discharged from these WWTPs per year in the United States.

Drug Resistance in Eukaryotic Microorganisms [PDF]
Eukaryotic microbial pathogens are major contributors to illness and death globally. Although much of their impact can be controlled by drug therapy as with prokaryotic microorganisms, the emergence of drug resistance has threatened these treatment ...

Model Systems of Human Intestinal Flora, to Set Acceptable Daily Intakes of Antimicrobial Residues [PDF]
The veterinary use of antimicrobial drugs in food producing animals may result in residues in food, that might modify the consumer gut flora. This review compares three model systems that maintain a complex flora of human origin: (i) human flora ...
