Epidemiology of antibiotic resistance.

Intensive care medicine - 1 Jan 2000

Livermore D M

Abstract excerpt

Three biological processes contribute to the accumulation of bacterial drug resistance: new selection, gene epidemics and strain epidemics. New resistance emerges by (i) the advantaging of entire species, (ii) by mutation, and (iii) by the escape of resistance genes to mobile DNA. Organisms to have 'benefited' from modern patterns of cephalosporins and quinolone use include enterococci, Clostridium difficile,...
