Drug Resistance, Bacterial

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: The ability of bacteria to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).  GEN or unspecified; prefer specifics   
See Also Tuberculosis, Multidrug-Resistant
Examples beta-Lactam Resistance; Chloramphenicol Resistance; Drug Resistance, Multiple, Bacterial; Kanamycin Resistance; Tetracycline Resistance; Trimethoprim Resistance; Vancomycin Resistance 		Other names Antibacterial Drug Resistance; Antibiotic Resistance, Bacterial
