Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance
There is no doubt that antimicrobial agents have saved the human race from a lot of suffering due to infectious disease burden. Without antimicrobial agents, millions of people would have succumbed to infectious diseases. Man has survived the accidental wrath of microorganisms using antimicrobial agents and other mechanisms that keep them at bay. Hardly years after the discovery and use of the ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms among Campylobacter
Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are recognized as the most common causative agents of bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. Humans most often become infected by ingesting contaminated food, especially undercooked chicken, but also other sources of bacteria have been described. Campylobacteriosis is normally a self-limiting disease. Antimicrobial treatment is needed only in patient...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance
In the last 50 years bacteria have demonstrated a remarkable ability to develop and share resistance to every antibiotic that has been developed, often by quite unexpected mechanisms and much more readily than was originally predicted (Spratt, 1994). Antibiotic resistant bacteria can live and multiply in the presence of therapeutic levels of antibiotics. They can be resistant in their natural s...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance: Mechanisms of action of antimicrobial agents
Microorganisms coexist with other living organisms and exhibit the greatest genetic and metabolic activity. Microbes have evolved various mechanisms to survive pressure exerted by competitive environmental challenges. Infection is the invasion of the host by harmful microorganisms (microbial pathogens), which then multiply in close association with the host's tissues. Infections may differ in s...
متن کاملMechanisms of antimicrobial peptide action and resistance.
Antimicrobial peptides have been isolated and characterized from tissues and organisms representing virtually every kingdom and phylum, ranging from prokaryotes to humans. Yet, recurrent structural and functional themes in mechanisms of action and resistance are observed among peptides of widely diverse source and composition. Biochemical distinctions among the peptides themselves, target versu...
