Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, Second Edition

About this book

Doctors first used penicillin on a human patient in 1941. Since then, many bacteria have evolved resistance to antibiotics. Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, Second Edition describes pathogens that have become particularly adept at evading a wide range of antibiotics and highlights how scientists continue to strive to develop new treatments and countermeasures to fight this onslaught. Case studies and historical anecdotes are presented to provide context and aid in understanding the problems associated with antibiotic resistance. Various antibiotic-resistance scenarios of the future are outlined, as well as personal strategies individuals can use to reduce the likelihood of infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Chapters include:

  • How Antibiotics Kill Bacteria
  • Causes of Antibiotic Resistance
  • Consequence of Antibiotic Resistance
  • Most Dangerous Types of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
  • Strategies to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
  • Reducing the Risk of Antibiotic-Resistant Infection.
