Antibiotics and Resistance

Antibiotics and Resistance are critical topics in clinical microbiology, as they are central to the treatment of bacterial infections and the growing global health challenge posed by antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance:

  • Gene Transfer
  • Enzymatic Degradation
  • Target Modification
  • Decreased Permeability
  • Efflux Pumps.
