Exceptions to the rule: Why does resistance evolution not undermine antibiotic therapy in all bacterial infections?

2021-12-16

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance poses one of the greatest public health challenges of the 21 st century. Yet not all pathogens are equally affected by resistance evolution. Why? Here we examine what underlies variation in antibiotic resistance across human bacterial pathogens and the drugs used to treat them. We document the observed prevalence of antibiotic resistance for ‘pathogen x drug’ combinations across 57 different...
