Essence of Completion of Drug Dosages: A Review on Drug Resistance
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance happens when an anti-microbial agents has lost its capacity to adequately control or eliminate bacterial development; in other words, the bacteria are "resistant" and continue to multiply in the presence of therapeutic levels of an antibiotic. When antibiotic resistance occurs, antibiotics that previously would have killed the bacteria, or stopped them from multiplying, no longer work. Antibiotic resistance can result in extra medical expenses, prolong hospital stays and increased mortality rate. New resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases. The aim of the article is to review the antibiotic resistance, mechanism, diagnosis and prevention of antibiotic resistance.
