Overview

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve the ability to survive exposure to antibiotics that would normally kill them or stop their growth. It arises through genetic mutation and the horizontal transfer of resistance genes between bacteria, and it is accelerated by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobial drugs. As resistant organisms spread, previously treatable infections become harder to manage, making antibiotic resistance a major and growing threat to public health worldwide. This peer-reviewed, open-access research collection addresses antibiotic resistance from clinical and laboratory perspectives. Published studies have examined antibiotic resistance in elderly patients, documented increasing carbapenem resistance and antibiotic susceptibility patterns among Klebsiella pneumoniae in a tertiary care hospital, and reported a case of antibiotic-resistant urinary tract infection. Other work has assessed prescribers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward antimicrobial stewardship, developed a multiplex PCR assay for detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes in urinary infections, and characterized antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation in Salmonella Typhi. Together these contributions span resistance mechanisms, surveillance, diagnostics, and stewardship, providing readers with grounded, evidence-based insight into one of the central challenges facing chemotherapy and infectious-disease care.
