Within-Host Evolution of Drug-Resistant Bacteria in Immunocompromised Patients: A Case for Adjunct and Alternative Therapies

2026-03-05

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance is often framed as a problem acquired outside the patient through transmission of resistant strains and genes. This view is important, but it is incomplete for immunocompromised patients, where there is substantial evidence that drug-resistant bacteria can evolve within the host during therapy. In haematological malignancy, transplantation, and other states of impaired immunity, infections...
