Plant Essential Oil: An Alternative to Emerging Multidrug Resistant Pathogens
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Multidrug resistance is a challenge across different types of microorganisms, bacterial and viral pathogens. This is because they account for a significant outcome of clinical infections observed. The tendency of microorganisms to acquire and disseminate resistance genes among themselves via horizontal gene transfer makes resistance patterns to become widely distributed. Bacterial pathogens exhibit an array of resistance phenotypes, the most important of which is the production of resistance enzymes. These include extended spectrum betalactamases, carbapenemases and AmpC which have been widely reported to confer resistance to different classes of antibiotics.
