Co-resistance: an opportunity for the bacteria and resistance genes.

Abstract excerpt

Co-resistance involves transfer of several genes into the same bacteria and/or the acquisition of mutations in different genetic loci affecting different antimicrobials whereas pleiotropic resistance implies the same genetic event affecting several antimicrobials. There is an increasing prevalence of isolates with co-resistance which are over-represented within the so-called high-risk clones. Compensatory events...
