Antimicrobial Resistance
Also written as AMR.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is driven by enzymatic inactivation, target site mutation, efflux pumps, and reduced permeability, and spreads most importantly via conjugation (plasmid transfer).
What our notes say
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is driven by enzymatic inactivation, target site mutation, efflux pumps, and reduced permeability, and spreads most importantly via conjugation (plasmid transfer). (Pharmco Notes)
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) results from genetic and biochemical adaptations in bacteria that allow them to survive drug exposure. (Principles of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology LAQs & SAQs)
- Antimicrobial resistance has become a significant problem. (Bacteriology and Entomology Supplementary Exam)
- Local antimicrobial resistance patterns (critical in choosing between nitrofurantoin vs TMP-SMX) (Pharmacology Cheat Code)
