Consequences of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents.
to review what current knowledge exists on the impact of antimicrobial bacterial resistance and address the methodologic obstacles to its assessment. Simply to state that a patient died of an infection caused by a resistant organism does not prove that the death was due to the resistance. To prove the statement as to cause of death, two approaches— " imputable death " and " attributable death "...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents
Infectious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens represent a serious public health concern. Antimicrobial agents such as anti-bacterial drugs are often indicated for chemotherapy of bacterial infections in clinical medicine. Thus, it is important to study the biological mechanisms that confer bacterial pathogenesis and virulence. Under selective evolutionary pressure when in the presence of an...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Mechanism of Bacterial Biofilms Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents
A biofilm is a group of microorganisms, that causes health problems for the patients with indwelling medical devices via attachment of cells to the surface matrix. It increases the resistance of a microorganism for antimicrobial agents and developed the human infection. Current strategies are removed or prevent the microbial colonies from the medical devices, which are attached to the surfaces....
متن کاملResistance to Antimicrobial Agents
The main reason for the current unsatisfactory situation is that, worldwide, there is no effective regulation of the use of antibiotics. In many nations drugs are freely available "over the counterî and even in countries where most drugs are only available on prescription there may be little control. The practice in some societies of doctors prescribing the most potent drug available just in ca...
متن کاملBacterial strategies of resistance to antimicrobial peptides.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a key component of the host's innate immune system, targeting invasive and colonizing bacteria. For successful survival and colonization of the host, bacteria have a series of mechanisms to interfere with AMP activity, and AMP resistance is intimately connected with the virulence potential of bacterial pathogens. In particular, because AMPs are considered as po...
