Origin and Proliferation of Multiple-Drug Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2015
SUMMARY Many studies report the high prevalence of multiply drug-resistant (MDR) strains. Because MDR infections are often significantly harder and more expensive to treat, they represent a growing public health threat. However, for different pathogens, different underlying mechanisms are traditionally used to explain these observations, and ...

Antimicrobial peptides for combating drug-resistant bacterial infections

Drug Resistance Updates, 2023
The problem of drug resistance due to long-term use of antibiotics has been a concern for years. As this problem grows worse, infections caused by multiple bacteria are expanding rapidly and are extremely detrimental to human health.

Isolation and characterization of multiple drug resistance bacterial pathogens from waste water in hospital and non-hospital environments, Northwest Ethiopia [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2014
The importance of bacterial isolates from waste water environment as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance and a potential source of novel resistance genes to clinical pathogens is underestimated. This study is aimed at to isolate and characterize public health important bacteria from waste water in hospital and non- hospital environments and evaluate ...

Multiple Drug Resistance and ESBL Production in Bacterial Urine Culture Isolates

American Journal of BioScience, 2014
Transmission of bacterial strains between patients is a serious problem in hospitals and with the increasing rate of antibiotic resistance the problem has farther escalated. Enterobacteriaceae produced ESBLs, especially E-coli, are increasingly important nosocomial pathogens.

Multiple drug resistance in bacterial isolates from liquid wastes generated in central hospitals of Nepal

Kathmandu University Medical Journal, 1970
Background: Healthcare liquid wastes are the reservoirs of harmful infectious agents such as the pathogens and multiple drug resistant microorganisms. Potential infectious risks include the spread of infectious diseases and microbial resistance from health-care establishments into the environment and thereby posing risks of getting infections and ...
