Molecular and epidemiologic aspects of the resistance to antibiotics: example of glycopeptides on enterococci

Abstract

The emergence of glycopeptide resistance in enterococci results in a severe clinical problem. Efforts to limit the spread of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci are now considered essential. The many ways in which the resistant strains can disseminate, both in the community and in hospitals, are a source of difficulty in reaching that goal.

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.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
