Antibiotic resistance: counting the cost

Current Biology : CB
B G Spratt

Abstract

Acquisition of drug resistance should impose a cost on bacteria. Recent studies, however, suggest that natural selection acts to reduce, or eliminate, the growth disadvantage of resistant bacteria, making it difficult to reverse the high levels of antibiotic resistance currently found in hospitals and the community.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
