Infectious Drug Resistance in Bacteria

  • Conference paper
Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology / Ergebnisse der Mikrobiologie und Immunitätsforschung

Abstract

In parallel with the extensive use of antibiotics and other chemotherapeutic agents, drug-resistant bacteria have considerably increased and in the case of drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria this increase has created a serious medical problem. Although new antibacterial agents have been developed to combat the drug-resistant pathogens, we had to realize that pathogenic bacteria acquired resistance to the new drugs as well. No chemotherapeutic agents have yet been discovered to which drug-resistant bacteria do not develop and consequently the problem of bacterial drug resistance has received much attention because of its medical importance. Drug-resistant bacteria also have caused much trouble in the field of veterinary medicine since various chemotherapeutic agents have been used for the treatment of animal infections.
