The impact of antimicrobial resistance on the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
E Erbelding, T C Quinn

Abstract

The focus of this article is to review the development of antimicrobial resistance among several sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and to discuss the frequency and mechanisms of resistance and recommendations for treatment of selected STDs in which resistance to certain antimicrobial agents has increased. For a number of STDs, such as Chlamydia trachomatis and syphilis, no evidence of antimicrobial resistance has developed over the years, although management of these diseases, such as in the case of pelvic inflammatory disease or syphilis in HIV-infected individuals, requires intensive treatment and follow-up to ensure effectiveness of treatment.

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.

Antivirals (ASM)

Antivirals are medications that are used specifically for treating viral infections. Discover the latest research on antivirals here.
