Antimicrobial Resistance
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is developing rapidly and threatens to outstrip the rate at which new antimicrobials are introduced. Genetic recombination allows bacteria to rapidly disseminate genes encoding for antimicrobial resistance within and across species. Antimicrobial use creates a selective evolutionary pressure, which leads to further resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship, best use, and infection prevention are the most effective ways to slow the spread and development of antimicrobial resistance.
Keywords: Antimicrobial resistance; Antimicrobial stewardship; Gram-negative resistance; Infection prevention.
