[Molecular mechanisms underlying the development and spread of antibiotic resistance].

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotics are characterized by their selective toxicity against bacterial pathogens. Due to the high genetic flexibility of bacteria, which includes mutations in their own genes as well as the uptake of foreign genes from other species, pathogens can rapidly adapt, for example, by altering molecular target structures. This article provides an overview of the molecular basis of important, clinically relevant...
