- Comment In the literature, the term “heteroresistance” has been applied indiscriminately to describe not only population-wide variation in antibiotic resistance but also other observations, and methods to determine heteroresistance vary significantly among laboratories. Confusion regarding this phenomenon precludes establishing its clinical significance and implementing proper therapeutic interventions and guidelines.
