Control of antimicrobial resistance in the health care system

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
J E McGowan, F C Tenover

Abstract

Resistance continues to spread in nosocomial pathogens in acute care hospitals and other key settings of managed health care systems. Appropriate control measures for such resistant organisms depend, in part, on the pathways by which resistance has arisen. Unfortunately, these pathways differ greatly from organism to organism and setting to setting. Although the epidemiology of resistant organisms sometimes is similar to that of susceptible organisms of the same kind, in some situations it may be quite different. This article highlights some of the pathways leading to the development of resistance in bacteria and the relevance of these mechanisms to measures for the control of resistant bacteria in hospital and community settings.

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.
