- Definition resistance occurring when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them, the consequence of which is that antibiotics cannot fight them, and the bacteria multiply Reference EP-Terminology Coordination, based on: Center for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC > Antibiotic Use > Appropriate Antibiotic Use: Community > About, ’Antibiotic Resistance Questions and Answers’, https://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/about.html [6.10.2018]
- Comment Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections (such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, bloodstream infections) making them ineffective. Antibiotics fight bacteria, not viruses.Antimicrobial resistance is a broader term, encompassing resistance to drugs that treat infections caused by other microbes as well, such as parasites (e.g. malaria or helminths), viruses (e.g. HIV) and fungi (e.g. Candida).References: - World Health Organization, ’What is the difference between antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance?’, http://www.emro.who.int/health-topics/drug-resistance/what-is-the-difference-between-antibiotic-and-antimicrobial-resistance.html [6.11.2018] - U.
