Evaluating treatment protocols to prevent antibiotic resistance.
The spread of bacteria resistant to antimicrobial agents calls for population-wide treatment strategies to delay or reverse the trend toward antibiotic resistance. Here we propose new criteria for the evaluation of the population-wide effects of treatment protocols for directly transmitted bacterial infections and discuss different usage patterns for single and multiple antibiotic therapy. A ma...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is an ongoing evolutionary process that has been the concern of infectious disease specialists since antibiotic use gained popularity. Antibiotic resistance is not a concern of the public as reflected by their desire for antibiotics whenever illness occurs. Patients can and do pressure their physicians for antibiotics ; 12 million antibiotic prescriptions were filled for u...
متن کاملEvolution of Antibiotic Resistance without Antibiotic Exposure
Antibiotic use is the main driver in the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Another unexplored possibility is that resistance evolves coincidentally in response to other selective pressures. We show that selection in the absence of antibiotics can coselect for decreased susceptibility to several antibiotics. Thus, genetic adaptation of bacteria to natural environments may drive resistance evol...
متن کاملPrevention of Antibiotic resistance / Antibiotic Misuse - Abuse
are resistant to one of the first-line drugs (rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, streptomycin).5 Resistance is emerging due to the increasing exposure of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents. Exposure of microbes to antimicrobials tempt them to develop strategies to survive in the hostile environment and become resistant. Pressure on the bacteria to mutate and become “hardy” develops due to (...
متن کاملQualitative analysis of models with different treatment protocols to prevent antibiotic resistance.
This paper is concerned with the qualitative analysis of two models [S. Bonhoeffer, M. Lipsitch, B.R. Levin, Evaluating treatment protocols to prevent antibiotic resistance, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94 (1997) 12106] for different treatment protocols to prevent antibiotic resistance. Detailed qualitative analysis about the local or global stability of the equilibria of both models is carried o...
