Shaping the Industrial Century, Author Alfred D. Chandler Jr. Isbn File size KB Year Pages Language English File format PDF Category Medicine Book Description: The dean of business historians continues his masterful chronicle of the transforming revolutions of the twentieth century begun in Inventing the Electronic Century. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR or AR) is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication that once could successfully treat the microbe. The term antibiotic resistance (AR or ABR) is a subset of AMR, as it applies only to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. Resistant microbes are more difficult to treat, requiring alternative medications or higher doses of antimicrobials.
Antimicrobial resistance Since , when Sir Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin growing on a petri-dish of bacteria, antibiotics have saved the lives of millions of people and animals. Their discovery is seen as one of the most important scientific achievements of the 20th century. But overuse and misuse of antibiotics has. Arturo Casadevall 2. Albert Einstein College of Medicine. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the treatment of microbial diseases is increasingly complicated by drug resistance, the emergence of new pathogenic microbes, the relatively inefficacy of antimicrobial therapy in immunocompromised hosts, and the reemergence of older diseases, often with drug-resistant microbes.

Clinical significance and biologic basis of HIV drug resistance / Rodger D. MacArthur -- Resistance of herpesviruses to antiviral agents / William L. Drew, Jocelyne Piret, Guy. Antimicrobial resistance has gained a foothold in the global consciousness as a serious public health threat. There is a much greater appreciation for the role of the environment in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and the effects of pollutants that can potentially promote development of resistance in bacteria.

Resistance frequently leads to delays in the administration of effective therapy, and a mismatch between empirical therapy and subsequent antibiotic susceptibility test results is the most significant factor in delaying effective example, in one study, patients with ESBL-producing K.

[I W Fong; Karl Drlica;] -- Aims to define issues and solutions to the challenges of antimicrobial resistance. This volume describes the steps that researchers are taking to develop molecular methods for detecting resistance. We hope that the documentation provided in Antimicrobial Resistance and Implications for the Twenty-First Century can be used by public health and medical communities to exert the political pressure needed to limit the indiscriminate use of antimicro-bials and to provide the incentives needed to find new antimicrobials and treatment strategies.
On CDC’s website, antibiotic resistance is also referred to as antimicrobial resistance or drug resistance. Antibiotic resistance has the potential to affect people at any stage of life, as well as the healthcare, veterinary, and agriculture industries, making it one of the world’s most urgent public health problems.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health problem. 1 Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections lead to longer lengths of stay, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortality than carbapenem-susceptible infections.2, 3, 4 The clinical microbiology laboratory is on the front line of the fight against CRE and plays several critical roles.

Epidemiology of drug resistance: implications for a post-antimicrobial era. Science– (). ADS CAS Article Google Scholar. This book describes antibiotic resistance amongst pathogenic bacteria.
It starts with an overview of the erosion of the efficacy of antibiotics by resistance and the decrease in the rate of replacement of redundant compounds. The origins of antibiotic resistance are then described. It is proposed that there is a large bacterial resistome which is a collection of all resistance genes and.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is predicted to be one of the greatest threats to public health in the twenty-first century. In this context, understanding the reasons why perceptions of antibiotic risk differ between different groups is crucial when it comes to tackling antibiotic misuse.
What are the possible consequences of antibiotic resistance? Many of the available treatment options for common bacterial infections are becoming more and more ineffective. As a consequence, there are situations where infected patients cannot be treated adequately by any of the available resistance may delay and hinder treatment, resulting in complications or even death.Preventing, controlling and treating drug-resistant infections is one of the major challenges in modern medicine.
Antimicrobial Resistance goes beyond simple definitions and microbiological data to fully explore this rapidly changing area, describing evidence for effective interventions, costs, treatment strategies and directions for future research.
